Synopsis

An elderly man fathers a nation. A child slave becomes governor. A rustic shepherd boy is made king.
God's call is endlessly surprising. He draws people into his service from across social barriers and beyond our expectations. His chosen servants are ordinary, sinful human beings. And they include you and me.
In forty daily meditations, with poems by Brian Draper, you can explore how to serve God through the example of great biblical characters. Discover with them how to step out in faith, overcome past failures, keep a vision when things are tough and see amazing events take place. You can learn, too, from the example of Jesus himself, the way to serve.
