Writing with his mighty prose, he quickly and easily brings these figures to life while presenting meaningful lessons to the reader's own heart. Now you can download and install these classic biographies to take with you on your Palm OS, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile Smartphone, or Symbian device.

DAVID: SHEPHERD, PSALMIST, KING - Meyer captures the very spirit and life of this "man after God's own heart," and then practically relates David's life to the reader's own: "To bear with unfailing meekness the spiteful attacks of malice and envy; not to be overcome by evil, but to overcome evil with good; to suffer wrong…this is only possible to those in whose breasts the dove-like Spirit has found an abiding-place…and these are they who bear themselves as heroes in the fight."

JOSEPH: BELOVED, HATED, EXALTED - Discover the story of Joseph, beloved by Jacob, hated by his brothers, forgotten by his friends, remembered by God, and exalted as ruler of Egypt. Meyer uses Joseph's life as an illustration of the coming Christ, and makes clear to the reader the import Joseph's life has on their own.

MOSES: THE SERVANT OF THE LORD – Moses is sketched as a man just like any other man, yet set apart by his faith in God and commitment to be a servant of the Lord. Applying this great man's life to the reader, Meyer writes: "As the rod was in the hands of Moses, so Moses was in the hand of God; and so may each of us be, if only we yield ourselves implicitly to him for service."

PAUL: A SERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST - Without straying from a Biblical basis, the life of the Apostle Paul comes alive by closely following the Acts and Paul's epistles. This biography has no shortage of practical applications, and Meyer spares no illuminating detail or nuance of Paul's life, while not losing sight of the larger picture of the apostle's place as New Testament author, evangelist, theologian and martyr.

PETER: FISHERMAN, DISCIPLE, APOSTLE - Explore the life of this great Apostle, from his first call to leave his nets to fish for men, through his denial of the Lord, to the Day of Pentecost and ending with his death in Rome. In this narrative of Peter, Meyer gives the reader glimpses of Jesus, and one can see the love of Christ toward His sometimes wayward and sometimes faithful disciple. The life of Peter is ultimately a grand story of the power of redemption and the continuous transforming power of Jesus in lives today.
