Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples (John MacArthur)

$14.25$16.99

An honest look at the original disciples Jesus chose always reveals this stunning fact: they were ordinary, quite unremarkable men. Their most amazing feature is that Jesus chose them at all: a handful of fishermen, a hated tax-collector, an impulsive political zealot. Who could hope to use them to change the world? Who could hope to get them to co-operate?

But by Jesus’ teaching them and empowering their lives, these ordinary men were molded to be the men He intended them to be. The message of Twelve Ordinary Men is clear: if Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these, He can do as He wills with you – regardless of you.
