Gideon-A Hero In the Making Frightened, defeated, oppressed and suffering from a severe case of poor self-esteem, Gideon was the most unlikely answer to his nation's need for a liberator and leader. But God has a way of choosing the most unlikely people to rise to greatness and even alter the course of history. Gideon-A Hero in the Making is a series of sermons that charts how God carefully, skillfully, patiently and miraculously makes and molds a man named Gideon into the hero that God intended for him to be and into the hero his nation sorely needed. God literally transforms the life of one of the "least of these" and uses him to deliver a nation. However, this book is not just a story of what God did in the life of Gideon, it's a lesson in what God can do in your life too! No matter where people, circumstances, hardships or even personal mistakes have put you, God is not finished with you yet! You may not see it, and others may not see it, but God sees within you the stuff of which heroes are made. And if you would trust God with your life, God will take who you are - past, present and future - and begin to mold and make you with his cosmically capable hands and you, too, can become a hero in the making!

Dr. F. Bruce Williams was born July 19, 1959 to Rev. Earl B. and Norrine T. Williams at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia. Early in life, God ordained Dr. Williams's footsteps. Earning numerous honors, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Florida A & M University and went on to obtain his Masters of Divinity from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and his Doctorate in Ministry from the United Theological Seminary. Dr. Williams was installed as Senior Pastor of Bates Memorial Baptist Church, located in Smoketown, one of the poorest zip codes in Jefferson County, Louisville, Kentucky, in 1986 after serving as an associate minister. Twenty-five years later, the congregation has grown exponentially, seeing its membership increase from a hundred members to over five thousand members. Dr. Williams is committed to changing the lives of the marginalized, people that society has forgotten. The homeless, the drug addicts, the single mothers, the hurting and the suffering all have a purpose and a place in the Kingdom. Through his message of transformation and restoration, Dr. Williams encourages people to believe God, to believe in themselves, and to believe that there is something greater for their lives. He desires that all people seek after and discover their God-ordained purpose by introducing them to the power of the Savior. Dr. Williams is married to the former Leona Michelle Smith of Greensboro, Florida. Dr. F. Bruce and Dr. Michelle Williams are the proud parents of two daughters, Imani and Nailah Cymone.
