Unfeigned commendation to the tutorial group members of Dr. Wungtei Buchem for remarkable effort in bringing out a book on character studies of biblical biographies. This collective achievement reflects not only dedication and scholarship but also a deep commitment to understanding and sharing the rich lessons found in the lives of 19 noteworthy biblical figures. By exploring into the experiences, virtues, and struggles of these individuals, this book offers valuable insights that can inspire and guide readers in their personal and spiritual journeys. The effort and diligence put into this book are truly creditable, and indubitably it will serve as a meaningful resource for personal devotion, preachers and for Bible studies. Congratulations on this significant accomplishment. May this book touch lives and inspire a deeper application of biblical wisdom.
