Introduction — Who is behind you?

Behind every revival you can date, there is a faithfulness you cannot. Before we meet the fourteen hidden lives at the heart of this book, we pause to ask a question most of us have never been invited to ask: whose unseen prayers, whose forgotten labor, whose quiet faith is holding up the platform you are standing on right now?

Sixteen centuries. Fourteen hidden architects. One pattern that is impossible to explain except by the providence of the same God in every chapter. This opening sets the map for the journey — and invites you to listen with new eyes.
