Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Paul claimed to be the chief sinner, but the man that Paul Adams once was could rival him—but not anymore. The life of deceit, selfishness, and pain that the author engaged in is now in the rearview mirror. When he reads about the people who will not inherit the kingdom of God, he can see the man he used to be walking toward eternal destruction. While Adams was close to certain death many times, God kept him here so he could become a soldier for His cause. Ever since Adams was saved, he has sought to win souls for the Lord. In this testimony, he asks powerful questions such as: • How can we work on a daily basis for God’s glory? • Where can we find opportunities to be part of God’s work? • What can we do to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit? While Adams is just an ordinary man, his journey of slowly moving toward Christ until being born again holds valuable lessons for everyone. Discover how you, too, can be redeemed and live in God’s love and grace.

Download or read book Ordinary People Used by an Extraordinary God written by Shawn Beaton and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: YOUR LIFE CAN BE EXTRAORDINARY!This book was not written for those who think they are God's best. It was written for those who feel unqualified to be called by God for a higher purpose. Jesus is walking the highways and seeking to redeem those who are lost, deep in sin and rejected of men. He wants to give these people purpose and use them in an extraordinary way. It does not matter what their history is, but whether they are hungry for God. Many struggle with personal sins and failure and feel unfit for God's use. They often look at the heroes of the Bible as super saints, but many of them weren't so super in reality. God called many of these people when they were deep in sin, blinded by rage or rejected of men. There was nothing really great about them, but their God was great. They were no different from you or I. They were ordinary men and women used by an EXTRAORDINARY GOD!This book looks at the lives of some of the men and women used by God in the Bible. I chose to focus on the primary godly attribute of each Biblical hero and then examine the sin or weakness they struggled with most. These saints or patriarchs are portrayed in a realistic manner in this book. God never intended for us to idolize these men and women. Instead He wanted us to see His great grace in action through mankind. At the end of this book I challenge the reader to pick up the mantles of these Biblical heroes and those used by God throughout Church history. Any Christian can be used by God in an extraordinary way. God is looking for those like Elisha who said, "Where is the God of Elijah?" Will you pick up the mantles that have been forgotten? Will you be the next David? The next Paul? Read this book and awaken God's call on your life today!
Download or read book Ordinary People Extraordinary God written by Scott G. Van Note and published by CrossBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is full of heroes people doing God's work and heeding His call. At one time, however, these prophets, disciples, and pivotal personalities were ordinary people just like us. In Ordinary People, Extraordinary God, author and minister Scott G. Van Note shows us how, as the pinnacle of the Lord's creation, we too can be heroes of faith and accomplish great and mighty things for Him. Van Note focuses on the people of the Bible, presenting stories of their lives to show how their ordinary lives were transformed by their willingness to listen to God's Word. Two interactive chapters contain worksheets to help readers understand how their lives and experiences relate to the lives of the biblical people that are discussed. The questions posed offer food for individual reflection as well as for youth and adult group study and discussion. Through His Word, God has poured out love and compassion for each of us, and He is still in the business of helping, blessing and gifting His creation. Ordinary People, Extraordinary God helps us relate to Scripture and the people within it like never before. God does desire to use us in His kingdom, and if we are willing, He will use us mightily. "Ordinary People, Extraordinary God shows how God uses people just like you and me in powerful ways, when we act on faith in Him and His word, and abandon the bad habit of trusting in our own strength, plans, and ideas. As I read the book and was reminded of those in the Biblical story whom we think of as heroes of the faith, I was challenged to renew my absolute trust in and obedience to the Lord. I know Scott, and he is a man who models this life of faith and obedience. I recommend this book as a source of encouragement and challenge in our faith walk." Herschel Rosser Senior Associate Pastor The Vineyard Church of Stafford / Sugar Land, Texas

Download or read book Ordinary People and Extraordinary Evil written by Fred Emil Katz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-03-31 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it in the behavioral makeup of ordinary people, operating in the course of ordinary daily living, that lends itself to participating in horrendous activities — and doing so at times with zeal, at times with joy, at times without duress? Katz demonstrates that we do not need any special behavioral equipment for doing evil. The very same behaviors can take us in both directions for either living humanely and decently or for doing evil. This book demonstrates how some of these processes work, and sensitizes us to the potential for evil in our ongoing daily activities. This knowledge about ordinary behavior can empower us to take charge of our own direction, and help us turn away from beguilings of evil when they come our way.
Download or read book Ordinary People Come Face to Face with Extraordinary GOD written by Juanita Nobles and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered about some of the lesser known people mentioned in the Bible? There are many people in the Bible who were helpers of the significant ones like David, Moses, Peter, and Paul. For example, Abigail, one of David's wives, saved her family because she was thoughtful and hardworking. Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba, lost his life because of his loyalty to the army and his King. People from other nations played an important part in Jewish history because they trusted God and made their home with the Jews. What about New Testament people like Apollos, Barnabas, Cornelius, and some of the lesser known disciples? This book is about many of those people who met God and made a decision for or against Him.
Download or read book Extraordinary Teen Bible Study Book written by Darrin Patrick and published by Lifeway Church Resources. This book was released on 2016-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we're honest, most of us wish the Old Testament was not a part of our Bible. Sometimes it reads like a collection of bizarre, supernatural stories about people in a completely different culture and place in time (which is actually pretty accurate). Other times it seems like a collection of weird stories about people of faith that would probably land on The Jerry Springer Show. But through the Old Testament, there's a clear Story of God redeeming His world through "normal" people. From Adam to Abraham to Joshua to Job to Moses to Esther--each of the men and women studied in this small-group Bible study were chosen by God to accomplish His will. They had highs and lows, successes and failures--some glaringly so, but as we'll see throughout this series, God had a specific plan to do extraordinary things through them, just as He wants to do through us. Adam was a king that lost his crown. Esther was a peasant that got her crown. And in between Abraham, Moses, Joshua, and Job wrestled with relationship, recovering passion, security, and spiritual warfare. Extraordinary reveals how God meets us where we are in extraordinary ways to use you to accomplish His mission. Yes we will remain ordinary, but God is always extraordinary.
Download or read book Ordinary People Extraordinary Faith written by Joni Eareckson Tada and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of a diving accident that has left her paralyzed for more than thirty years, Joni Eareckson Tada has been able to build a life of faith and purpose. The peace she has found as she confronts the painful realities of life as a quadriplegic has made her a hero to many people. In Ordinary People, Extraordinary Faith, Joni lets us know who her heroes are. Inside she tells the stories of people who inspire her with their faith and courage. Although Joni has met many famous "heroes of the faith" through her ministry, the lives she shares here are not the Billy Grahams of the world. They are a mother, a housewife, a nursing home resident, a child. Some are missionaries or pastors; others are bank tellers or data entry clerks. All of these people have touched Joni's life and the lives of others as they found their faith rise to the occasion – to forgive an assailant, to find strength despite the debilitating effects of cerebral palsy, to choose love in the face of racial prejudice, and to discover in the midst of questioning that God Himself is the answer to all questions.
