Who is your favorite bible hero or heroine outside of Jesus?
Who is your favourite bible hero or heroine besides Jesus? Why is he or she a favourite?
I will begin. Mine is Jacob. I like him because like me, he is a sinner, a deceiver, a liar and there is hardly anything good about him besides the fact that he hungers for God's blessings to be in his life. Yet, at the end of his life, he died in worship of God.
He started up bad, and tried to get God's blessings, but ended up just worshipping God, even in his death. I want to be someone like that.
I can never be a Abraham because I am weak in my faith, or a David because I am too cowardly to trust God to slay a Goliath or a Moses or a Elijah or a Paul.
But I am definitely a Jacob, in that I seek after God's blessings, despite being a sinner and hopefully, at the end of my life, died in worship of God like him. So he is my hero even though I am a gal.
What about yours?

Who are your favorite Christian heroes/heroines outside of the bible?
Who are your favourite recent heroes/heroines outside of the bible, particularly born in recent times and why?
I will begin again. Mine is Samuel Morris and DL Moody.
Samuel Morris is an African man who prays and even though he does not live long, he is a model for me in the area of childlike prayers.
DL Moody reaches the lost for God with a passion and he is not very educated.
I also like Billy Graham, Smith Wigglesworth, Catherine Booth.
Too often, we honor the saints of the bibles without recognizing that there are modern heroes/heroines in our midst too. Let's talk about them here!

Me too - Smith Wigglesworth! Katherine Kuhlman, etc--Myles Munroe, RIP, Meister Eckhart - then the Saints...esp the mystics. 
Oh and ALL the New Thought authors and teachers! They are remarkable;
the list is too long to write.
But I could if asked.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

It was surprising to see mention of Katherine Kuhlman…….we had a family connection to her coming from the same neighborhood….. |

Mary of Jesus of Ágreda
She bilocated from Spain to modern day New Mexico/Arizona during the 1600's. The Church investigated her bilocations and found that toward the end of her journeys, she was able to talk to the Native Americans and give them gifts.
She is also referred to at times to being an incarnation of Mother Mary.

This is one little known animal hero in the bible:
Balaam’s Donkey who saved Balaam. The Donkey carrying Balaam was able to see the angel of the Lord on the road. The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Numbers 22:33 "The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now,"

Gee, I see now I misread the first post...they had to be IN the Bible.
I bet it was before I had my coffee...I apologize!
Aw, the donkey...
DAVID! All I had to do was read Psalm 139.
Enoch, another one God loved SO MUCH!
Mary Magdalene...gee, there are so many!
Elisha - in Kings having NO fear cuz he saw an army of angels and horses to help him ...then somehow his
scared servant's eyes were opened to also be able to see them.
It's quite a story!
ABRAHAM talking God out of destroying a town
The FATHER of the prodigal son.
But yes, Jacob seeing God face to face Gen 30..and he called the place Peniel...like pineal.
