In this eighth volume of the bestselling Great Lives from God's Word series by Chuck Swindoll, he examines little-remembered Bible characters and events. The Old Testament contains numerous fascinating stories of forgotten lives--unsung heroes whose actions, sacrifices, or battles failed to ascribe them worldly renown. These great lives, however, reveal significant people whom God honors in the pages of His Word and, therefore, they deserve our serious attention and emulation.
Somehow life has taught us poorly. We're trained to think that the most significant people are star athletes, actors, and musicians--the ones we applaud, those whose autographs we seek, or those who have worldly fame. But Swindoll teaches us that most often, the people worth noting are those who turn from a 'nobody' into a 'somebody' but never receive credit. Fascinating Stories of Forgotten Lives reminds us of a core truth: success in God's kingdom and in the church depends upon faithful people the public rarely knows.
Discover biblical principles and practical applications for living so that you can be who you are in God's estimation . . . a person of true significance. Would you rather be a person of significance or a person of prominence? Think carefully! The answer to that question will shape your entire future.
We will be meeting on Tuesday evenings in the Prayer Room to share what we learned about the characters, how the Lord spoke to us through the material, and how our understanding of Scripture changed. We will only cover 6 of the 13 characters in the book. There is no video to watch - this is an opportunity to connect through discussion and help each other grow in Christ.
