Publisher's Synopsis
If we're honest, most of us wish the Old Testament was not a part of our Bible. Sometimes it reads like a collection of bizarre, supernatural stories about people in a completely different culture and place in time (which is actually pretty accurate). Other times it seems like a collection of weird stories about people of faith that would probably land on The Jerry Springer Show. But through the Old Testament, there's a clear Story of God redeeming His world through "normal" people. From Adam to Abraham to Joshua to Job to Moses to Esther--each of the men and women studied in this small-group Bible study were chosen by God to accomplish His will. They had highs and lows, successes and failures--some glaringly so, but as we'll see throughout this series, God had a specific plan to do extraordinary things through them, just as He wants to do through us. Adam was a king that lost his crown. Esther was a peasant that got her crown. And in between Abraham, Moses, Joshua, and Job wrestled with relationship, recovering passion, security, and spiritual warfare. Extraordinary reveals how God meets us where we are in extraordinary ways to use you to accomplish His mission. Yes we will remain ordinary, but God is always extraordinary.
