The Meanest Man in Patrick County and Other Unlikely Brethren Heroes

You might not have heard of Cain Lackey, Ann Rowland, or Harold Lefever, but you could call them unlikely Brethren heroes, because each was just an ordinary person doing an extraordinary thing with uncommon conviction.

Risking life to participate in the first Brethren baptism; enduring ridicule and pain for reaching out to "the enemy" during war, tirelessly and patiently seeking change in the face of opposition are but a few of the examples of what Brethren have done to live the ways the Bible tells us to live.
