Download Twelve Unlikely Heroes: How God Commissioned Unexpected People in the Bible and What He Wants to Do with You AudioBook Free
What kind of folks does indeed God use to perform His work? Definately not the children's stories depicted in picture catalogs and nursery rhymes, the men and women highlighted in the Bible were unnervingly real. They faltered. They battled. And sometimes, they fell short. Yet God proved helpful through them in surprising and incredible ways to perform His purposes. Scripture does not hide their weaknesses, caricature their advantages, or spin their reviews as a screen of individuals nobility. Instead, it explains these heroes of the beliefs with unflinching integrity and delivers an unexpected closing: "God is not ashamed to be called their God" (Hebrews 11:16). In Twelve Unlikely Heroes, pastor and best-selling creator John MacArthur uses his profound knowledge of the Bible and background to use us back again to see these three-dimensional men and women in their own times and civilizations. In doing so, it becomes clear how their dramatic stories connect with us today. Individuals who might at first seem foreign quickly become familiar and memorable - particularly as they disclose the true Hero behind every see, the energy counterbalancing every weakness, "the writer and Finisher of the beliefs." (Hebrews 12:1)
