Nobody Left Out, by Michael Murray

Jesus walked on this planet and spent time with people. He met people from all walks of life. He spent time with a lonely thief, a random dinner guest, a criminal and so on. Now, what do all these people share? What do they have in common?

To keep it simple, they have all dealt with the messiness of life. Some of them ended up in mess due to their own irresponsible actions. Some others were born in mess – they saw nothing else, so mess became a lifestyle for them.

Then, everyone became part of God’s story and nobody was left out. This book evokes eight different stories about Jesus and broken people. These are motivational and inspirational stories that will simply get you closer to God.
