On the Nightstand: Twelve Ordinary Men by John MacArthur

My sister and I have become real The Chosen devotees (we even have t-shirts) and are impatiently waiting for season 4. In the meantime, I’m going to take up this John MacArthur look at the apostles, imperfections and all, and how they helped change the world.

I’m also hoping this will help me learn to be a better version than I currently am of my favorite disciple, Andrew. Peter’s brother exceled at introducing people–to John the Baptist and then to Jesus. He didn’t self-aggrandize or get in the way–he just made the connection, and let things happen. To me, that’s a pretty high calling!

What’s on your nightstand?
