The people found in the Old Testament were real people with flaws, fears, and mistakes. They did not always do what God needed, yet he took the time to mold who he needed to accomplish the goals. We can look upon some of the people within the Old Testament as heroes. One of the messages Lori Denning shares in this marvelous book is that God knows our strengths and weaknesses and he will guide us along the path of life even when we fall short.
