The 21st-century world has learned to grow in new forms of religion. It's not that faith has disappeared from human consciousness; rather, it has transmuted into alternative forms of belief. In the secular world, faith remains relevant; however, it is exercised through public figures promoted by mass media, as well as through various forms of knowledge, whether mystical or scientific. Trust is channeled toward elements that offer humanity even a little relief in a world full of violence and perversity. This confirms that we are beings BORN TO BELIEVE.

This book reflects on some of the figures mentioned in Hebrews 11, the chapter in the gallery of heroes of faith. It also includes other figures not listed there, although it is very likely that the biblical author had them in mind when he confessed that there were many others who suffered because of their faith in God.
