I know of an amazing inspiring person who has been through so so much and is really an amazing person. He discovered God on his own even though he was brought up in a pagan society that worshipped idols. His own father tried to have him killed for believing in God, the king of his city threw him into a raging fire for 3 days because he believed in God. He had a son after many many years and he almost lost that son because God asked him to bring him up on an altar as a sacrifice. His other son went off the derech and became a thief and murderer. He fought against 4 mighty kings to save his nephew. His wife was kidnapped twice by evil kings who wanted to live with her and almost succeeded. Regardless of any challenge that faced him in his life he didnt waver in his belief in God for one moment. This amazing person was none other than Avraham Avinu. We don’t need any non Jewish heros, if you delve into the lives of the avos or any of the shivah Royim (7 shepherds) you will see that our heros are much greater than “their” heros lehavdil can and will ever be.
