About this listen
One of the lessons gained from the staggering success of The Prayer of Jabez is that even the most obscure biblical characters and stories have profound lessons to teach God's people. The Bible is filled with many fascinating individuals who lived their lives in the shadowlands of insignificance. Tucked away here and there in the pages of sacred Scripture, we may have passed over them as irrelevant nobodies, yet many of them lived their lives in faith and obedience to God despite facing overwhelming odds.
God included their stories in the Scriptures for a reason, and though we might consider them Bible nobodies, they truly were somebodies. We discover that God used people from all walks of life, not just the familiar superstars. The moments of destiny in the lives of these ordinary people will rekindle a spark of hope for that same destiny for our lives today.
Fifty engaging biblical characters are set forth in Reader's Digest-length passages, and each section is filled with insight, inspiration, and practical application. Compiled and significantly adapted or rewritten for today's listener from the classic writings of numerous legendary Christian expositors, such as Charles Spurgeon and others, these passages provide timeless truth that is as relevant today as the day they were penned.

Most people have a skewed vision of what Heaven is. They tend to picture angels floating around, some having harps and some having bows and arrows, but none of them actually having a life. To many people, Heaven sounds like a boring place. Earth seems to be exciting with new discoveries and adventures every day. However, the kingdom of God is much more exciting and glorious than anything the Earth could ever produce. The colors there are beyond the natural spectrum and there are inexpressible sounds.

Common people. Maybe you heard their names in a childhood Sunday school class. They're not often the champions or the go-to sermon illustrations. They probably didn't stand at the foot of the cross or even hang next to Jesus on one of their own. But they pepper the pages of the Bible, reminding us that we're not alone. Just like you and me, these ordinary people stumbled and struggled. They faced their own sin and came face-to-face with a God who not only wipes it away, but also makes the common extraordinary.

Inspired by the great preacher Charles Spurgeon, Warren Wiersbe launched a personal study of the lives of prominent Bible characters. Interested in more than biographical facts, Wiersbe sought out the themes of each person's life as reflected in the pages of scripture. How does the Bible summarize this person's life? What is the key to understanding his or her character? How do I see my own life reflected in the life of this person?

There are far too many Christians who are walking around dejected, depressed, hopeless, powerless, and in bondage to the flesh. Yet this is not what the Christian life is or should be. Though we will experience difficulties, in the midst of these things we are not powerless and without hope. The most powerful thing we can do in our lives is pray. Join Pastor Carter in this book as he looks at the lesson Jesus gives us in Mark 9 - along with some of his own personal experiences and testimonies - and how it relates to us, our walk with God, and our impact on the world.
