If you're wondering who Shamgar is, you're not alone. I had no clue until I read this fun and fast-paced uplifting and challenging book. Shamgar is the third judge to the nation of Israel and there are two verses that tell a very brief story of this man and how he saved Israel. I thought this was going to be another Prayer of Jabez - find some obscure Old Testament reference, write a book expounding on the biblical reference and bam - best seller! Well, while the first two parts are true, this book is completely different than the Prayer of Jabez - it is a challenge for every Christian to allow God to use them for His glory. The book is filled with short snippets of men and women who have taken a small step of faith and God has done miraculous things in them and through them...but the key to this book is the encouragement to take that first step!

The book is a relatively quick read - just over 150 pages and very easy to read - this is a great graduation gift for a student from high school or college or to a young professional to encourage them to seek first the Kingdom in the use of their time, talents and treasure. Like Shamgar, a man with no training, little or no resources, but a willingness to be used greatly by God - we, too, can overcome great obstacles on our journey of faith.

If you're looking for an encouraging, uplifting and challenging book - sort of a Zig Ziglar on paper - this is an excellent selection for around $10.00. Buy one for yourself and give one as a gift!

This book provides a great lesson in remembering that no matter how bad things seem, that if you 1. Start where you are 2. Use what you have 3. Do what you can - that you can persevere through any situation. This book is filled with great stories of perseverance. It starts a little slow but really builds momentum.

I bought a book from cloud9 and recieved it damaged, I talked with a rep. from cloud9 and explained the book had been damaged. They quickly apologized and refunded my money. I will order from them in the future for taking time to correct the problem.
