Included for a Purpose is the fifth and final book in the "for a purpose" series. Prompted originally by a pastor who said, "Someone ought to write stories about all the people in the Bible who were adopted, " Pauline Youd wrote Adopted for a Purpose, the stories of Joseph Moses, Samuel, and Esther (Abingdon 1986). Recently she republished that book as an Ebook and followed it with Crisis for a Purpose (Abraham, Job, Jeremiah, and Peter), Gifted for a Purpose (Miriam, Deborah, Abigail, Mary of Bethany, and Priscilla), and Warned for a Purpose (Eve, Achan, Lot, Samson, and Nebuchadnezzar).
Included for a Purpose contains the stories of Rahab, Ruth, Naaman, and Cornelius. Not part of God's nation Israel, they were nevertheless included in God's original and ongoing intention to include believers from every tribe, language, people and nation in His family. Of the four, only Cornelius sought a relationship with God, but present attitude cannot hinder God's faithfulness. Although Youd wrote for little children in her "I Wonder" series for Pauline Books & Media, these new Ebooks are aimed at those too old for children's Bible stories but not yet ready to tackle a serious Bible study.
