About This Book
A powerful collection of 30 Bible stories about people whose faith in God brought them their finest hour.
In today's world, it's easy to fall prey to the approval addiction--seeking the praise of others instead of focusing on pleasing God. In Their Finest Hour, best-selling author R.T. Kendall highlights 30 Bible characters who put their trust in God despite their moments of self-effacing vulnerability. Through these stories, we can learn valuable lessons about faith and trusting God even when it isn't popular or easy to do so.
You'll learn the importance of sticking to your convictions, letting God be in control, and trusting His plan for your life through stories of biblical figures, including:
- Leah, who experienced delayed significance.
- Rahab, who saw a better future with God's people.
- Habakkuk, who was willing to wait on the Lord.
Their Finest Hour is for ordinary Christians looking to deepen their faith, their understanding of the Bible, and their relationship with God. Relatable stories and personal anecdotes make this book an invaluable resource for pastors, teachers, small groups, and believers seeking inspiration and guidance in their spiritual journey.
An enlightening and engaging exploration of moments when ordinary people achieved greatness in the eyes of God, Their Finest Hour will inspire you to seek the true honor that comes from God alone.
