What defines a great soul? Aikman attempts to explore this in an interesting series of biographies. Here he chronicles the lives of Billy Graham, Nelson Mandela, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Pope John Paul II, Elie Wiesel, and Mother Teresa, providing positive stories as well as negative experiences and problems in detail. Aikman is a Christian, and he often refers to the religious faith of these history-makers and how it affected their lives and their responses in times of trial and trouble. He is a fine narrator, but one would prefer that he omit the accents of his subjects when he is reading quotes attributed to them. Except for that minor quibble, this audiotape will find a home in most public libraries. Danna Bell-Russel, Library of Congress (c) Copyright 2010.
