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

What a beautiful, well written book. Its meaningful and spiritual and heartwarming all while telling a true, captivating, engaging, delicate, and honest story. Easy to read and to get absorbed in. It's not just their story that is interesting but the meanings behind what they did and why, even relevant today. I truly relished in it, learned so much and would definitely recommend it!

I've never really cared much about the men who were with Jesus because to me they were just followers; except Judas of course, who either got in the way or didn't have faith. Never did I realise until now that they were a lot like me! This book has opened my eyes to these, I'll say, very ordinary men and their lives. I feel I'm reading the New Testament all over again with more awareness and insight than ever before. A great book. Thank you.

Excellent book

A revealing insight into the ordinary lives and characters of the Apostles. The discussion is securely anchored in scripture and focuses the reader on how each individual had a place in the Twelve and yet they are so much like us, called saved, taught and sent out using their own particular characters and skills and used by God to the greatest effect. Twelve men conquer the world for God. God takes the small gifts and multiplies them exponentially. So he can take you or I and use our weakness to such great ends, step up and be an apostle for this time.

John MacArthur is one of the finest modern day Bible teachers and pastor of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California for over fifty years. His biography by Iain H Murray is fascinating. "Twelve Ordinary Men" is a must for all Christian households. That such men could have accomplished so much under the Lord's provision and tutelage is as much of a miracle as the feeding of the thousands etc. John MacArthur's book (he is a prolific author) opens the readers eyes to much important and fascinating information. The existence of so many fine modern day Bible teachers is testament to the continuance of miracles.

pleasant surprised by this book. It's heart warming to get to know the apostle as ordinary people like us, with personalities, fears, defects who in the arms of a Living God were transformed, changed, renew and used for His wonderful plan. Love the book

My church is doing a series of sermons based on this book, so I bought it out of interest but have not yet had time to read it. From what I can tell, the sermons have been thoroughly grounded and this book offers some interesting insight, even into the lesser known disciples. Well worth a read, which I will of course do soon!

If you need to delve into the lives of the disciples this is a book we'll worth reading.

An enlightening journey through the lives of disciples, beautifully penned by John F. MacArthur. The author's insights into how the Master shaped his followers for greatness offer profound lessons. A must-read for those seeking spiritual growth and understanding. The narrative, coupled with MacArthur's expertise, creates a compelling and enriching experience. This book has truly captivated me, and I find myself thoroughly enjoying every page. Highly recommended for those seeking a deeper understanding of the apostolic journey and its profound teachings.

マッカーサー牧師の12人の女性を先に、そして今度は12人の弟子を読みます。米国のベストセラー、大変良い本です。お勧めです。

Great book and an easy read. Good insight into the 12 disciples.

In a very simple but profound way the author explains how and when di He choose His apostles. It has been a delighting reading

The book really show us a different perspective of the life of those 12 men. How the Lord shaped each one of them, except for Judas Iscariotes, in the same way He does today, but perhaps in a more intense way. Transforming ordinary and miserable men into valuable tools in his mighty hand. Making sinful men able to follow the steps of the Master and share his loving gospel to the world. I recommend it.
