Twelve Ordinary Men Description:

Twelve Ordinary Men review:
5 stars (Meat on the bones) - This is an excellent treatment of the 12. I used it as a starting point for a series of sermons this summer. It brings the flat apostles into focus, to see the life changing effect that being with Jesus brought into one's life. Highly recommended for both group and individual study.
4 stars (Great Apostle Research) - I really like hearing about the histories of the apostles. Makes them seem much more "real" than the abstract readings from the bible. It's also very well written.



The other book in the same vein that I recommend in the genre is Your Apostle Personality (it's also at Amazon) which goes a little further relating our personalities to those of the apostles.
5 stars (From the Ordinary to Extraordinary) - This book was excellent, each apostle's personality was described according to scripture; each one of these personalities amazingly makes up the body of Christ before conversion. Here the evidence is laid out before us as to how God took each one; balanced them; settled them, and made them new creatures in order to go out and preach the gospel. Thank God for the Word in it's purest form. It's encouraging and engaging; It made you feel like you was there with them. You seen them go from glory to glory (except for Judas Iscariot). I have seen churches portray the disciples as a bunch of fools-But not in this book! you see the mire clay and the finished product. Please buy this book - you won't be disappointed.
