My Review
We have read about the people in the bible so many times and I know at least in my opinion they are and surely always had been extraordinary people. Max Lucado shows us in this book the ways that God has used ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
Mr Lucado places these stories from the bible in modern day situations that we can better understand.
The book makes you think about the things we can glean from reading about the stories and how God put these people in situations where even as today we can relate. It has a section for discussions after each chapter so it would also be great for a group bible study.
