Who were these men?

They weren't saints. They weren't scholars. They weren't even religious sages. 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.

The "Twelve Ordinary Men Workbook" brings you face-to-face with the disciples as you've never seen them. You'll put yourself in their shoes. You'll understand their doubts and hopes. And you'll hear the power of Jesus' words in a whole new way. The message is clear. If Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these, imagine what He has in store for you

Based on John MacArthur's best-selling book "Twelve Ordinary Men," this workbook is ideal for group or individual study, and includes:

• Suggestions for further reading
• Thought-provoking call-out areas
• Daily life application assignments
• Focused, relevant prayers
• Intriguing study questions
• Additional notes for leading group study

Rhymes and Reasons is a compliation of prose and poetry aimed at drawing life lessons from current events and special occasions. The author views his efforts as word pictures that stimulate reflection much like political cartoons. These "poetical cartoons" originally appeared in the Partial Observer website.

Sunday Rhymes and Reasons is a compilation of inspirational poetry by America's pastor/poet laureate, Greg Asimakoupoulos. In this, his third volume of poetry, Pastor Greg paints word pictures that portray both the struggle and fulfillment that define a life of faith. His repertoire of rhymes celebrate rite-of-passage occasions like birth, baptism, marriage and death as well as the major holidays of the church and culture. It is a volume that illustrates the poet's love of words and of popular culture. The author dips his brush into a paint box of hubris, humor and honesty.
