Unlikely Heroes: Ordinary People with Extraordinary Faith: A Biblical and Personal Reflection on Hebrews 11: Volume 1 - Tapa blanda

Is it possible for broken, ill-equipped, faltering, or average people to merit God’s highest commendation? For him to say they lived “by faith”? Yes, it is. In Unlikely Heroes: Ordinary People with Extraordinary Faith, Daniel R. Lockwood presents a cast of Old Testament characters from Hebrews 11—seriously flawed people with stories that teach us about genuine, biblical faith. Biblical insights, historical significance, and engaging storytelling carry readers across generations of faith into the adventure that is ours today, with guidance for traveling wisely and courageously. So strap on your dusty sandals, shoulder your trail-worn knapsack, pick up your reliable walking stick, and get ready to travel in the footsteps of some remarkably unremarkable individuals. You will meet people whom God himself calls faithful and discover they are people like us!
