Fascinating Stories of Forgotten Lives

Rediscovering Some Old Testament Characters

De: Charles R. Swindoll

Narrado por: Maurice England

Join pastor and bestselling author Charles Swindoll as he explores the stories of 13 biblical hidden figures whose lives have remained in the shadows of history for long enough.

Somehow life has taught us poorly. We're trained to think that the most significant people are star athletes, actors, and musicians--the ones we applaud, those whose autographs we seek, or those who have worldly fame.

But Swindoll teaches us that most often, the people really worth noting are those who turn from a 'nobody' into a 'somebody' but never receive credit. Fascinating Stories of Forgotten Lives reminds us of a core truth: success in God's kingdom and in the church depends upon faithful people the public rarely knows.

The Old Testament contains numerous fascinating stories of forgotten lives--unsung heroes whose actions, sacrifices, or battles failed to ascribe them worldly applause. These great lives, however, reveal significant people whom God honors in the pages of His Word and, therefore, deserve our serious attention and emulation.

From the misfortunes of Esau to the bravery of Abigail, each of these unlikely heroes has four unique elements in common:

• A selfless sense of devotion
• A mission
• A love of harmony
• A contagious joy

Join Swindoll in this eighth volume of the bestselling Great Lives from God's Word series as he examines little-remembered Bible characters and events, helping you discover biblical principles and practical applications for living so that you can be who you already are in God's eyes--a person of true significance.

The Best Bible Biographer in the Business!

Mr. Chuck Swindoll, in my opinion, is the best Bible biographer in the business! Every Bible biography he has written has taught me so much about Bible characters, that I never really cared that much to read about them. I can’t wait to share the insights I’ve gleaned from all of his books with others!

Eye opening book

I loved how Pastor Swindoll has such an eye for teaching and making us see what is right in front of us. Loved this book.

Incredible details about the people of Gid

Excellent companion while doing tasks but caution… it will stop you in your tracks more than you realize. Great principles of living with insights into everyday living and little known as well as well known facts about the people of God Repeat listening is addictive!!!

Great Narration, Great Book

Great Narration, Great Book. I recommend all of Chuck Swindoll's books! Especially with this narrator.

A MUST READ/LISTEN!!!!

This book, with the exception of the Bible itself, is a masterpiece in its own right. I am shocked it only has 35 reviews!

A good synopsis of several not so famous Biblical Characters.

Great Biblical clarity. Points out that (as a Believer) you don't need to be famous or well known to have an impact (good or not so good) for God.
