Their Finest Hour

Christian Living

“R. T. Kendall wrote this book ‘to encourage you to follow Jesus daily with a view to being self-effacing . . . that you might be utterly willing to go outside your comfort zone for the sole glory of God.’ He suggests what ‘the finest hours’ of thirty very different Bible characters who chose to believe and obey the Lord were, mostly at deeply challenging times in their lives. I was so inspired by these stories—like with Habakkuk, who was so troubled at the mystery of evil but trusted God; Elijah, who agreed to put his fame in the shadows by requesting a double anointing for his successor; Sarah, who believed she’d have a baby in her old age; Ruth, who loyally stayed with her mother-in-law; and Joseph, who totally forgave the treachery of his brothers. Each of these people highlights the wonder of God’s grace toward us despite our failures, personality flaws, and insignificance in worldly terms. This book could transform your walk with the Lord.”
