C. S. Lewis observed that you can't study human beings, you can only know them. In Out of the Ordinary, you'll get to know a few of the characters who populate the pages of the Bible.
Some of the individuals David Roper introduces here are well known--either for good, for evil, or for both. Many others, however, go virtually unnoticed. They lived quiet lives, known only for a crisis or a responsibility that propelled them into the limelight for one brief moment.
"These people intrigue me," says the author, "because they enshrine a great truth: God takes delight in nobodies, invests them with beauty and greatness, and uses them to touch the world with grace and truth."
"As such," David concludes, "they are like us--ordinary people in ordinary places doing ordinary things. In them we catch a glimpse of ourselves and the holy work God is doing in and through us, for it is 'out of the ordinary' that God's extraordinary work is done"
David Roper served as a pastor for many years. Now, he and his wife, Carolyn, offer encouragement and counsel to pastoral couples through Idaho Mountain Ministries. David is author of more than a dozen books, including Every Day Is a New Shade of Blue, A Burden Shared, The God Who Walks Beside Us, and Seeing God, and is a regular and popular writer for Our Daily Bread. Nearly one million of his books are in print.
