Judges: Ordinary People, Extraordinary GodCrossway, 2006 M09 7 - 117 pages The book of Judges is highly relevant for Christians today. No other book shows so clearly how God uses ordinary peopleÑin spite of their faultsÑto do mighty deeds for his glory. Rather than a verse-by-verse or chapter-by-chapter review, this study will take you life-by-life through the individual judges, both in the book of Judges and 1 Samuel. Each of the studyÕs sixteen lessons includes a Scripture passage (in the ESV¨), a devotional, thought-provoking questions, and a challenge to go deeper. Through Judges youÕll learn how God works in every ordinary personÕs life, utilizing both strengths and weaknesses to carry out his will. And ultimately you can discover the specific way God desires to use you for his extraordinary purposes. |
