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.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. There's a passage in the book about how the disciples may feel like they weren't just like you and I. This book is amazing and makes the 12 extraordinary men ordinary to me. It doesn't make you feel like you are unworthy or you don't deserve Jesus' sacrifice for us. I can't say enough about this book

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!

This was an inspiring look at each of the twelve apostles. John MacArthur, as always, does a fascinating Scriptural treatment of a - regretful to say this - often neglected but crucial biblical subject matter. After reading this book, one walks away feeling he personally knows each one of those twelve men. It is a truly uplifting experience to read this book. Buy it, and explore its rich depths. You won't regret it!
