Just Like Us: 21 Character Studies From the Bible by J Oswald Sanders and published by Classics.
Imagine if the Bible only portrayed the “perfect” saints - people who never lied, never feared, never doubt and always obeyed the Lord. Yet that is not what the Bible reveals, instead the Lord chose to show His servants - warts and all!
Abraham was God’s friend, but on two occasions put his wife’s virtue in danger; Samuel was the great Judge of Israel but his own sons brought him shame and Andrew appears to have been a “boring” disciple, but he brought Simon Peter to Christ.
God in His word presents for us people we can believe they are true. People who doubted, feared enemies and sinned. Yet these were God’s chosen vessels, who were just like us! In this book there are 21 Bible characters who come to life as people we can identify with and learn from them that God uses imperfect servants to do His perfect will.
