Lyt når som helst, hvor som helst

This book tells the story of 5 Old Testament characters, and there is humor about their lives and actions. Samson, Jacob, Queen Esther, Gideon and Elijah were different but they all had one quality in common. They were ordinary, flawed human beings whom God called to do extraordinary things. The relevancy for today is God still does the same thing. It is not always about the "perfect" pastor or layperson. It is about listening for God's voice and following it. God calls each one of us to demonstrate faith. What makes this unique is the humor found in the characters. Elijah was sarcastic, Gideon defeated a great horde of enemies but was not brave. Queen Esther knew the secret of how to get to the King's heart. What is unique is that the stories are true. All too often we take these stories at face value without delving into the biblical verses which causes smiles and laughter. The more we learn, the more we can understand God's love and need for each one of us.
