This is the Spanish-language edition of John MacArthur's Twelve Ordinary Men. The book works through the apostles one at a time, drawing from the Gospels what can be known of each: Peter's impulsiveness, the ambition of James and John, Thomas's doubt, Matthew the tax collector, and the obscurity of the lesser-known six. MacArthur declines to idealize them, showing men of ordinary ability whom Christ called, taught and sent out.

The encouragement of the book is plain: if Christ built His church through these men, He is not waiting for better material. This edition serves Spanish-speaking readers, Spanish-language small groups and men's studies, and bilingual households. The entire text is in Spanish.
