Commendations for Brian Coombs's new book
God’s Lesser Knowns
Insightful and inspiring, God’s Lesser Knowns illuminates the facets of overlooked gems in the Bible. If you’ve ever been bothered by a sense of your own insignificance, this book will provide the reorientation you need. Warmly recommended.

Biblical biographies can be effectively used to suggest, illustrate, and teach vital, timeless lessons. You will discover such in this fascinating, skillfully written, and communicative volume. Pastor Coombs shines the light of an extensive knowledge of Scripture upon fourteen "lesser knowns." As you read of those set forth in the Old Testament, you might do so in remembrance of Romans 15:4. As you read of those set forth in the New Testament you might consider that here are some of the last who shall be first. Analogous to Onesiphorus often refreshing Paul (2 Tim. 1:16), may these chapters bring refreshing instruction to you.

Now and then, a book comes to the forefront that everyday Christians desperately need. God’s Lesser Knowns is the book for our age. It puts into perspective the faithful vitality of living your Christian life behind the scenes. Every Christian should read this book.

Do you know Agur? Rhoda? How about Mnason? Perhaps these biblical names appear vaguely familiar to you. Yet do you know their stories? If not, you will want to read God’s Lesser Knowns by Brian Coombs. With keen pastoral and practical insight, Coombs brings characters like these alive so that you get to know them and, better yet, the Lord Jesus each one was following. And, if the book’s title seems to describe you, your heart will warm to know how vital even the least person in the kingdom of God is to Christ. A delightful and devotional read!
