Why did God choose these men? The men in the Bible were not perfect by any means. We find story after story marked by scandal, failure, and intrigue. Noah drank too much. Job thought he knew more than God. Moses murdered a man. David committed adultery. Joseph risked his reputation. Matthew was a tax collector. Lazarus...died. Pater betrayed Christ. Paul killed Jesus' followers. Yet we also find these same men looking beyond their circumstances, trusting in the Lord, and following Him where He chose to lead. Like us, they made both good and bad decisions--and faced the consequences. We find our hopes and struggles in the pages of the Bible that tell their stories."--back cover.
