Jim Palmer, the author of "Divine Nobodies," had a childhood that was much worse than just difficult. He was abused and discarded. He grew up seeing himself as being the cause of all the pain in his family. In his mind, he was bad, unloveable. By the world's standards, Jim Palmer would have grown up to be bitter and mean. He would have repeated the treatment he received from his parents and brother. History does repeat itself. He would have grown up measuring himself in the eyes of the world but always feeling like that beleaguered child -- responsible and full of fault. He would have made himself feel better only by pushing others down -- the ultimate in "ego". History repeating itself.

But Jim Palmer found God. And this set him on a different path. He became a pastor -- a superstar of sorts -- a "golden boy" and sought-after speaker.

But the scared, unloveable child remained ... especially when everything he knew of this world as he followed God came crashing down.

Through a series of events and stories, though, Jim Palmer found something more than God. He found Jesus. He found Jesus not in superstar pastors and incredible speakers but in everyday folks. Everyday folks who are disciples of the man who showed love to the "unloveable". Everyday folks who know the reality of sacrifice. Every day folks who know that they must become less in order for Jesus to be more.

"Divine Nobodies" is Jim Palmer's story of finding more than just God. It is his story of finding Jesus.

And what an incredible, well-written, and honest story it is.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. It is a great step on the journey available to us all to discover what it means to be a disciple -- something very different from what much of the world's perception is of Christianity. In this book's pages you will meet and discover the greatest man who ever lived ... by reading rich stories of the indwelling Christ.
