Its
great to read amazing Bible stories from the Bible. The parting of the
Red Sea, God coming down and transforming ordinary people's lives.
Miracles in the desert. Reading of healing in the New Testament and
everything God wanted us to know about Him and His immense love toward
His creation.
What makes this book a
special read is that it brings Biblical stories to reality. Where God is
applied to real life. Nothing is distant, far or ancient about the
stories in "An Army of Ordinary People" by Felicity Dale, they're all
contemporary. You could be a simple grocery store owner and then God
comes into your life and your life begins to impact lives of people
around you, just when you make contact with the living life of Jesus
Christ Himself. We can picture that and soon you'll find yourself
saying, "I can do that" or "This could be me!" This book can make you
aware of God given potential in the life of a believer, who's just
willing to follow God's directions no matter how mundane it sounds.
Felicity carries us into a journey into the lives of these very ordinary
people we meet day-to-day and perhaps would never imagine they could
amount to anything, but they are being enabled by God as His agents to
reach out to people right in their neighbourhood, some not even leaving
the very compound and areas where they live. God is using them right
where they are. Now I know, I can totally be a stay-at-home mom and
still God can use me to impact people around me, right where I am.
