ORDINARY PEOPLE, EXTRAORDINARY GOD

Description

JANICE MACLELLAN

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
