Product Description

Contrary to popular belief, we do not have to be perfect to do God's work. Look no further than the twelve disciples whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Jesus chose ordinary men - fisherman, tax collectors, political zealots - and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from utter uselessness. MacArthur draws principles from Christ's careful, hands-on training of the original twelve disciples for today's modern disciple - you.

Customer Reviews

Expert in the disciples now...
This book is inspirational, you cannot put it down, I read the entire thing in less than a day. The book gives you a sense that you to are part of the 12; you become a disciple. You learn so many things about the disciples that you yourself become their acquantinces.
Highly recommend this book for anyone trying to become more familiar with these great men.

Not so ordinary
Very well done. We used it as our textbook for a Wednesday night Bible study. We all, teacher and students alike, felt the book did an excellent job of teaching us about the disciples, why Jesus selected them and how God can use ordinary people for extraordinary purposes.

Good Read. Takes some license
I enjoyed John MacArthur's Twelve Ordinary Men despite some reaching on his part. The Chapters on Peter, John, and Judas Iscariot were mostly excellent. This is primarily because there is no shortage of information on these men in the Biblical Record. The problem I found was that even with those three and especially with the lesser know Disciples, MacArthur assumes some things that may be true (we cannot know for sure), and then refers back to the assumptions as fact. Despite that issue, there is a ton of good information in this book and it is one that I recommend. Just remember that a lot of the details we won't really know until we meet these men on the other side.
