REVIEW: TWELVE ORDINARY MEN WORKBOOK by JOHN MACARTHUR

 I'm finally sharing a review of the revised and expanded edition of the Twelve Ordinary Men workbook by the late John MacArthur. Check it out below!

THE BOOK

If Jesus Used These Men . . . He Can Also Use You

They weren't saints. They weren't scholars. They weren't even religious sages. What is most amazing about the disciples is that Jesus ever selected them at all. Among them, a handful of common fishermen, a hated tax collector, and an impulsive political zealot.

The Twelve Ordinary Men Workbook brings you face-to-face with the disciples as you've never seen them. You'll put yourself in their shoes. You'll understand their doubts and hopes. And you'll hear the power of Jesus' words in a whole new way. The message is clear. If Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these, imagine what He has in store for you!

Based on John MacArthur's bestselling book of the same name, this revised and updated edition of the workbook includes biblical studies of each disciple, thought-provoking questions, and life application assignments.

Lessons include:

1. The Men Jesus Called: Outstandingly Ordinary
2. Peter: The Unlikely Leader
3. Andrew: The Apostle of Small Things
4. James: The Apostle of Passion
5. John: The Apostle of Love
6. Philip: The Bean Counter
7. Nathanael: The Guileless One
8. Matthew and Thomas: The Tax Collector and the Twin
9. James (the Less), Simon (the Zealot), and Judas (not Iscariot): The Not-So-Well-Known Trio
10. Judas: The Traitor

Available on AMAZON.

THE REVIEW

I read the original Twelve Ordinary Men book by MacArthur some time back, so I was interested to see there was an updated and expanded workbook being released. I appreciated the original book, but this workbook really sheds a lot of insight, personal introspection opportunities, and ways that we can learn from the disciples and apply it to our day-to-day life on mission for Christ and growing the Kingdom. I sincerely enjoyed going through this workbook and will be recommending it to just about anybody who wants to step up in their faith. He breaks the disciples down into understandable, relatable examples and challenges readers to see themselves--both the positives and negatives--in each disciple, not to mention ways we can serve God just as He created us to be, just like He did these ordinary disciples. Easy five stars!
