Cuando muchos lectores cristianos piensan en los héroes de la Biblia, piensan en lo "buenos" que eran. Se olvidan de que... Rahab era una ramera; Jonás, un rebelde; Moisés, un asesino; Sara, una incrédula; Pedro, un apóstata; Ester, una diva; Sansón, un mujeriego; Jacob, un engañador.
Y sin embargo, estos ocho hombres y mujeres forman parte de los héroes más famosos de la Biblia. Dr. Tony Evans utiliza estos personajes bíblicos importantes, cuyas acciones no fueron conformes al carácter de Dios, para ilustrar la verdad de que Dios se deleita en usar a las personas imperfectas que han fallado, pecado, o simplemente fracasado. Los lectores se sentirán alentados acerca de su propio caminar con Dios al entender que Él los está encaminando hacia el éxito, a pesar de las muchas imperfecciones que tienen y los errores que cometen.
When many Christian readers think of the heroes of the Bible, they think about how "good" they were. They forget that... Rahab was a harlot. Jonah was a rebel. Moses was a murderer. Sarah was a doubter. Peter was an apostate. Esther was a diva. Samson was a player. Jacob was a deceiver.
And yet these eight men and women are among the Bible's greatest heroes.
Dr. Tony Evans uses these prominent Bible characters, whose actions or reactions were not consistent with God's character, to illustrate the truth that God delights in using imperfect people who have failed, sinned, or just plain blew it. Readers will be encouraged about their own walk with God as they come to understand that He has them, too, on a path to success, despite their many imperfections and mistakes.
