Summary: Excellent Book About a Biblical Leader!
Comment: Contrary to what the first reveiwer says, I believe "Moses" is excellent and consistent with Swindoll's other titles - warts and all. Indeed, since the Bible does not gloss over a person's sin, then why should books about Biblical characters overlook their flaws? We can learn important lessons from people's failures, specifically: how not to repeat them!
Among the important points Swindoll mentions in his book are:
1. God can use "losers" and "accidents" for His glory.
2. Let God operate His will in your life in His time and way.
3. There are no shortcuts to maturity.
4. God prefers to use broken people instead of the proud and self-sufficient.
5. Be willing to surrender every detail of your life under the authority of Jesus Christ.
6. We do not know how to live until we learn to die.
7. When we try to make things happen, things are forced. When God is in something, things flow smoothly.
8. You cannot scoff at God forever. His judgments may take time, but they are decisive when they happen!
Instead of belittling Swindoll's book, I much prefer to honestly anayze my Christian walk and be ever mindful that should I become too proud or self-sufficient, I stand to experience failures like Moses did.
Why should we always read the Bible or a Christian book with the intention of feeling better about ourselves? Sometimes we have to be convicted by the Holy Spirit before He does a great work in our lives. Indeed, two of the Holy Spirit's roles is to convict us of sin and to keep us from falling into sin. Before we can be used by God, He must first refine our character.
I highly recommend Swindoll's book - be honest in your walk with the Lord and always remember, He can work great things through us not because of ourselves, but in spite of ourselves - a perfect picture of His unmerited grace towards us!
Read the book and be challenged and encouraged!

Summary: Just As I Am
Comment: Moses is like me, and Chuck Swindoll details in this book, how God accepts us 'Just as I Am'. How like Moses, He moulds us to the way He wants us, what a profound lesson. The text is clear and simple, bringing sometimes hard to understand Bible passages into everyday language and interlacing it with experiences that can only make you smile. This book is a must for those still trying to determine where they fit in God's big world and if they are quite good enough. Excellent, page turning reading.

Summary: Helpful lessons in leadership
Comment: Swindoll's down to earth writing style coupled with this great Bible character really impacted my life. He brings out the good and bad in Moses' life (something we all struggle with), and gives an honest portrayal of God's plan being worked out in God's timing for God's greater purpose. If you struggle with accepting God's role of leadership, question God's chosen leaders in your life, or just enjoy a good character study, you will benefit from reading this book.
