Description:
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. They weren't the stained-glass saints we imagine. As John MacArthur puts it, they were a bunch of regular guys. Weak, prone to mistakes, remarkably unremarkable, and 100% human. Simply said, they were like us.

But under Jesus' teaching and touch, they became a force that forever changed the world. 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.
