Synopsis

Being used by God is an adventure you won’t want to miss!Major Ian Thomas, a British theologian, teacher, and the founder of Torchbearers Bible Schools, spent seven exhausting years trying to live for Christ when he realized that God actually just wanted to live through Him. He offered this extremely simple advice in considering the Christian life: Go where you are sent, stay where you are put, and do what you are asked.With her trademark warmth and keen sense of humor, esteemed Bible study teacher Jill Briscoe follows Major Thomas’s example to help readers learn how to allow God to live through them, finding their mission field to be right before them—in the space between their own two feet. She uses stories from her own life and of other contemporaries to unpack the story of Moses in helping us better understand our true worth and calling. She asks, “What is your Jerusalem, your Judea, your Samaria? Whether you’re fifty or fifteen, you are called to be God’s light in a troubled world.” This classic work is being updated to include conversation starters and Bible study questions at the end of each chapter.

Here Am I, Lord . . . Send Somebody Else by Jill Briscoe has been re-released for new audiences. Although I was familiar with Mrs. Briscoe's daughter-in-law (a gifted speaker in her own right), I hadn't yet become acquainted with Mrs, Briscoe herself. Overall, the book is based on a solid premise. Br......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on December 30, 2022

It was difficult to understand due to heavy analogies. Briscoe referred to Moses specifically which I enjoyed. However the application got lost in the references to Moses. This made her points vague and less impactful. The book was not easy to follow. Despite this, in some chapters I got the gist of......more
