""His name was Jesus, and his cause was humanity. It was a cause Jesus did not have to meet alone. There was a cloud of witnesses to bear him out."" (from the Introduction)
Gordon Pratt Baker offers ""cameos of 10 who testified"" in his sermon collection.
""My purpose in writing is, first, to lift up the concept that the individual, whatever his or her station in life or aptitude, plays no small part in the fulfillment of the Lord's will in the world,"" writes Baker. He adds that this collection came together out of a long-standing interest in these biblical personalities as individuals in whom we can see our potential selves.
In the process of sharpening such an insight it will become increasingly evident that, given the chance, faith will overcome frailty.
Personalities in A Cloud Of Witnesses include:
Woman of Samaria
Mary of Bethany
Peter
Nicodemus
John the Baptist
Salome and four others
