Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness and What He Wants to Do With You

By John F. MacArthur Jr.

Book Overview

Contrary to popular belief, we do not have to be perfect to do God's work. Look no further than the twelve disciples whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Jesus chose ordinary men - fisherman, tax collectors, political zealots - and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from utter uselessness. MacArthur draws principles from Christ's careful, hands-on training of the original twelve disciples for today's modern disciple - you.

Allow me to introduce you

What an awesome book!! I couldn't put it down and was introduced to some ordinary people I realized I never really knew. I do read the Bible and was delighted to meet some new precious friends, who in some cases remind me of people on this earth I know. I found myself saying to people "I can hardly wait to get to Heaven and meet Andrew. This book is such a favorite I have given it to friends and family as gifts. It does start a wonderful conversation. People who read it will smile and delight in the knowledge that our Lord chose these people..people just like us with all our faults. This book really touches hearts and it is so educational. Enjoy!
