Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness, and What He Wants to Do with You by: John F. MacArthur Jr.

"Non-Fiction": Religion, "History", 201 pages

HERETICAL NONSENSE FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY
Note: I only read this book to point out all the many, many flaws in it on my YouTube channel.  Besides theological issues & historical issues, this book also has psychological errors and the author insists that the moral short fallings of a political leader of when this was written (early 2000's)  was causing the downfall of America while he currently considers a person who has committed all the same sins & many, many, many more "a step in the right direction" now.  In short, I am 100% NOT recommending this book.
