Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness, and What He Wants to Do with You

does not work with nook color

This is the only book I have found that doesn't work with nook color. Barnes and Noble helped me endlessly with the problem and were professional. When I contacted the Macarthur web site about the problem as a favor (although Barnes n Noble already agreed to credit me) they kissed it off. Very disappointed in John Macarthur. I believe I purchased his last book.

a man must read

This book is a must read for all men who love the lord and for all men who feel they just don't add up.If you have ever felt like no!God can't use me not after what I done and after who I have been or who I am, then you must read this book.You can feel the bond this book creates in you the reader and the ordineriness of the disciples.We all face the doubters when we give our life to God but this book soothes the doubters sting and shows that each of the twelve chosen were chosen because they were different and were not the normal society chosen one that should accompany someone as special as Jesus.Thanks be to God that he looked beyond their faults and saw all their needs and how their faults and abnormalities would show the world that because of who you are and sometimes who you aren't that God chose you.This is the best book I have ever read and certainly a good book for the babes in religion that are not sure of there call what ever it is.

Jesus chooses

I loved this book. It let me know that it is Jesus who chooses and He never makes a mistake in His choice. I was uplifted and encouraged that I can go beyond my mistakes and continue to walk with Christ. Thank you very much. I needed this book.

I can be useful, too!

John F. MacArthur's done it again! He delves into the lives of the Twelve Apostles (somewhat humorous, at times), and how Jesus transforms them into bigger-than-life leaders. I found myself trying to identify with one apostle or another. This book gives you a sense of value, knowing that Jesus can use me, too! Twelve Ordinary Men is a must-read book! I could not put it down!

History, understanding and application

There are three aspects I like bout this book. First is the fact that it provides a solid historical background of the twelve most influential men ¿ aside from Jesus ¿ in world history, complete with understanding on a personal level. Second, the author will teach you how these ordinary men were used of God; what they did and what motivated their actions. Third, MacArthur teaches how we can learn from them and apply what we learn.

Twelve Ordinary Men

such a good book!

YES PLEASE SISTERS AND BROTHERS IN CHRIST JESUS GET THIS BOOK

THIS BOOK WILL TRULY TRULY CHANGE AND BLESS YOUR LIFE

Excellent

Do you think you know all there is to know about the first 12 disciples? Read this book and you might find out differently. John MacArthur packs a lot of information in a fairly short book. I would recommend this book to anyone studying Jesus' ministry.
