Förlagets beskrivning
When you and I read the Holy Scriptures, we look out for the "giants" like the Apostle Peter, whom Jesus appointed the leader of the Apostles; or we give our attention to Paul the apostle to the none-Jewish believers and Moses always grabs our attention of course. However, there are people in the Bible who play such special roles that their stories contribute tremendously to make the book the most exceptional book known to man. My purpose for writing this book is to call attention to the revelation the Spirit brought to me a while ago - He said: "I do not determine value with the metrics or measurements that humans use. For instance, the prophets in the Old Testament are grouped into Minor Prophets and Major Prophets by man; and those two categories are determined by the size of the book that the prophets were inspired to write - prophets who wrote large volumes, are classified as major and those who wrote smaller volumes, are described as minor. However, when I chose my own Major Prophet to appear alongside Moses, My Servant during the transfiguration of the Son, I chose someone who did not write even a sentence - I chose Elijah. So you see that I do not use the measure of men." Thus I write to draw the attention of the body of Christ to those characters that we have neglected because they are either mentioned once in the scriptures or their stories are so short that they seem insignificant. My decision is in keeping with the truth of the Word in 1 Corinthians 12 that the very members of Christ's body which seem to be the feeblest are very necessary. This book is also written to encourage Christians who are doing the apparently insignificant things in the churches of Christ and in all true ministries all over the world, that the Lord observes everything and His Word to those who did big things and those who did small things will be same "You have been faithful over a FEW things; I will make thee ruler over MANY things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord". How gracious! As I prepared to write this book, I was amazed to see the roles that these unsung heroes and heroines played in the gospel of God's Son and I have learned a lot from paying attention to those characters that I have hitherto ignored. Another thing that absolutely shook my knowledge of the scriptures is about the financial sponsorship of the Lord's ministry while He walked the land of Israel... So how did Jesus get money for the ministry? The answer is here: we are told that there were women who followed Him everywhere, rich women, women who had been healed from sicknesses and diseases and some of them delivered from demon oppression and possession; and that those women ministered to Him or continuously donated money to him from their substance or savings and incomes. Three of them are mentioned as Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Suzanna; and the rest are described as Many Others or many other women. Wow! The ministry of the Lord while He walked the earth was sponsored mainly by women - these women will be the first heroines that we will examine in this book, and they appear in chapter three; and thankfully, the number of the leaders, 3, is in alignment with the chapter number - what a mighty God we serve! In this book you will encounter names you did not even realize existed in the Bible, but their stories will so bless you that you will not forget their names and the sight of those names will bring smiles to your face when you see them after you read this book. You will meet Stephanas, Dionysius, Tychicus, Rhoda, Epaphroditus, Susanna, Joanna, Onesiphorsu, Sylvanus and many others. This book is called, The Unsung Heroes and Heroines of the Holy Bible and it is yours to enjoy and share with family, friends... Learn everything you can from these "minor" characters of the scriptures - read the book as many times as you can and I promise you that with every read, you will learn vital new truths
