What if the people you’ve forgotten are the very ones God wants you to remember?

The Bible is filled with giants of the faith—Abraham, Moses, David, Paul. But what about the ones who don’t get the spotlight? What about the men and women whose names barely make it into a verse or two—the ones most people skip past? Fascinating Stories of Forgotten Lives is a 14-lesson Bible study that brings these lesser-known characters to center stage.

From Jabez, whose bold prayer made it into the bestselling book of its time, to Uzziah, the king who started strong and finished poorly, this study explores people whose stories are brief but powerful. These are the kinds of people God used to change the world quietly, faithfully, and sometimes unexpectedly. And they have a lot to teach us.

Each lesson features 20 thought-provoking questions, making it ideal for small group discussions, Sunday School classes, or personal reflection. These are not just trivia lessons; they’re life lessons. You’ll explore themes like obedience, courage, repentance, calling, and faith in the shadows. You’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for how God uses ordinary people to fulfill His extraordinary purposes.

Because in God’s kingdom, there are no small stories.

Whether you're a seasoned Bible teacher or new to Scripture, Fascinating Stories of Forgotten Lives will deepen your faith and open your eyes to the surprising people God chooses to use—people a lot like you.
