Publisher Description

Common people ...Story after story marked by scandal, stumble, and intrigue. Who are these people? They're the people of the Bible.And they're us. We find our stories in theirs. We find our hope where they found theirs. In the hands of an uncommon God.In the midst of them all ... hovering over them all ... is the hero of it all: God. Maker. Shaper. Rescuer of sinking hearts. God. Passing out high callings, second chances, and moral compasses to all comers and takers.In this gathering of inspiring stories from his numbers best-selling books, master storyteller Max Lucado revisits some of his favorite biblical characters -- all of whom were very human and imperfect, just like us.If God can find a place for them ... He might just have a place for us too.

"Looks at various characters from the Bible that are ordinary people just like you and me (i.e. flawed and imperfect), yet God can do good works in their lives, just like He can do for anyone regardless of what we've done. For example, the prayer of the penitent thief on the cross next to Jesus, who had led life as a criminal, but was told by Jesus "today you will be with me in paradise"."

    " I started my Christian journey with Max, and then found him watered down fluff. Funny how God knows just what you need and when you need it. An easy read, a reminder and some humility. I really enjoy this book and the perspective Lucado brings. "

    " An easy read, although not one of Lucado's best. He uses a lot of material from his previous works, using allegories to make his points. Still, it never hurts to be reminded that God does use ordinary people to achieve His purpose. "

    " I have not finished this book since we are using it in Life Care, but I decided to review what I have read. I have enjoyed this book. Each chapter is a different character of the bible and it makes you think. I also like the fact that each chapter is short so you can pick up the book at any time. "

    " This was a great book as is all of Lucado's. I so admire Max for his instructed tongue (Isaiah 50:4) that never ceases to inspire me to think through the Scriptures. I love how God gifts His people and it's beautiful to see the gifts God gives being used for His kingdom work. "
