Fleeces, Fears and Flames : Gideon - Learning to connect with God

Gideon is a well-known Bible character. His exploits in leading just three hundred men to defeat a huge invading army has inspired many people when faced with 'against-all-odds' situations. But how did it occur? Where was God in this scenario? How does this account relate to us?

‘Fleeces, Fears and Flames’ explores the Book of Judges in order to examine these questions. Written in a down-to-earth style it looks at God connecting with Gideon despite his fears and fleece-laying doubts, then breaking through such frailty to release His power as seen in those flames. But it also stresses that as ordinary people we can know the extraordinary God ‘connecting’ with us whatever the daunting challenges we face!

Suitable for individual reflection or group discussion, this material includes questions and a focus at the end of each main chapter to help apply the Biblical narrative in a personal way.
