There have been those in every age who have discovered something of God's purpose and have attempted to pass it on. Sometimes, God's activity has been reported in supernatural terms, but fully as often, the activity of God is revealed in the faithful actions of human beings. For that reason, the Old and New Testaments are filled with the experiences of individuals who have discovered God's presence in their individual circumstances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Rogne's \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo Great A Cloud of Witnesses\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e will give readers an appreciation for the people of faith who are presented, and humbly recognize the cost borne by so many to deliver the faith to us. They are a great cloud of witnesses. They have played their part in relaying the faith to subsequent generations, and they are now filling the stands in the heavenly arena, eager to see how we continue the race. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWitnesses have been chosen from varied backgrounds so that it may be seen that people from all walks of life are called to live faithfully and to witness to God's truth. The entire known story of some of these individuals, such as Joseph, the husband of Mary, may be just a few verses of Scripture. Some, such as the Wiseman and the Emmaus disciple, are not even named. Nevertheless, their witness is important. Rogne attempts to give life to the testimony of these less-well-known witnesses by giving them names and employing a little imagination. In every case, the subjects tell their stories as they might have experienced them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChapters included in this book: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Supplanter: Jacob\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMy House Will Serve the Lord: Joshua\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Sword of the Lord: Gideon\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Outsider: Ruth and Boaz\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Sweet Singer of Israel: David\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book may be used for: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGroup study\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePrivate devotionals\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMonologues\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSermon series\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDavid G.
