About this ebook
Throughout the Bible, God interrupts the lives of ordinary men and women, calling and empowering them to lives of service they never could have imagined on their own!
Discover how to hear and respond to the unique call God is placing on your life through the stories of ordinary people found in the Bible. Called will examine the lives of the Abraham, Samuel, Esther and Mary Magdalene, Jonah, and the beloved disciple.
The same God that called these unlikely characters calls you, too, to bring hope and transformation to the world.
The Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the six-week study including session plans, activities, and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options.

Some of that material is touched on only slightly in the chapter, and some is not touched on at all, but having the whole story in mind can help with context of the specific events for yourself and your participants. It is also possible that some participants may be familiar with the story, have questions about it, and quite possibly find parts of it troubling.
