Christians--Biography/Autobiography recommendations?

I'm looking for some recommendations of Christian biographies/autobiographies. I'd appreciate a brief synopsis or the reason you really liked it. Some of the ones that I've already read (and own most):

The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom

God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew

Bruchko by Bruce Olson

Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot

A Chance to Die by Elisabeth Elliot (about Amy Carmichael)

Evidence Not Seen by Darlene Deibler Rose

By Searching by Isobel Kuhn

The Life and Campaigns of Lt. General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson by Robert Lewis Dabney

As well as miscellaneous Heroes of the Faith (and similar type series of biographies) about Eric Lidell, Charles Spurgeon, Hudson Taylor, etc). Usually these books are decent introductions, but not stellar works.

And, I'm currently reading

The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson.

He was involved in the resistance movement and was even offered a chance to escape Germany and turned it down. Once captured he still did not stop preaching and teaching, which ultimately resulted in his death.
