Tom Fuerst

Underdogs and Outsiders [Large Print] (eBook, ePUB)

A Bible Study on the Untold Stories of Advent

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There's something about underdogs that makes us cheer them on. And stories about outsiders always make a good movie script or book. Maybe it's because we know how it feels to be in last place or left out. We may never win a trophy or become a hero, but as Matthew shows us, God uses people like Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Uriah's wife-and of course Mary-in unexpected ways. This five-session study looks at the lives of these five women and will help you see how even underdogs and outsiders can play a pivotal role in God's purposes. You'll uncover new dimensions of familiar stories and be reminded to look for God in unanticipated places during this Advent season.
Designed to be used by individuals and small groups. In addition to the main content, each chapter offers questions for reflection and discussion, a brief prayer, and a focus for the week. The weekly focus emerges from the chapter content and encourages the readers to engage a spiritual practice or do something specific that will help them grow in faith.

"Tom Fuerst is one of the most effective communicators I know. He writes as he preaches, with clarity and compassion. Rarely is one able to communicate solid scholarship with effective 'popular' writing. Tom does that exceptionally well. This book is a valuable asset for pastor and lay person alike, to make Advent rich in understanding and meaning." - Maxie Dunnam, author and chancellor of Asbury Theological Seminary; pastor emeritus Christ United Methodist Church - Memphis, TN; vice-chairperson World Evangelism of the World Methodist Council.

"Tom Fuerst is one of the most talented pastors and writers with which I have had the privilege of working. His new book is not only well written but an important windows into the Advent journey."
- Dr. Shane Stanford, Senior Pastor, Christ United Methodist Church - Memphis.
