Informative and interesting

Many times when we get into non-fiction books we just don't think it will be an easy read. This book really gives great information about the 12 disciples and does it in a way that makes you want to keep reading to find out more. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning but has problems with most of your textbook types of material. I enjoyed this book and learned a good bit as well.

Twelve Ordinary Men Review

John MacArthur presents a thorough and interesting description of the disciples Jesus picked to complete his work on earth. Never before have I read such valuable information about the disciples individually and collectively in one place. Way-to-go MacArthur.

Good Read, Valuable Read-- But Read William Barclay, Too.

This book is worth the reading, well worth the reading, but it is not the definitive book on the Twelve Deciples. That title still belongs to "The Master's Men" written by William Barclay many years ago. This book is good. It views the Apostles from a more modern day approach and gives good insight into the times in which they were chosen and labored. But it seems to stretch at times. Read in concert with "The Master's Men," this book helps paint a good picture--as good as we could possibly have--about the Twelve Men who changed the world. Read this one, and Barclay,too.
