Customer Reviews for Focus On The Family Radio Broadcast A Man Called Norman I-II
Focus On The Family Radio Broadcast A Man Called Norman I-II
Norman was a social misfit and a recluse. He dressed strangely, talked to himself and virtually everybody in his small town made fun of him. Everybody, that is, except his neighbor Mike Adkins. On this broadcast, the Rev. Adkins tells the humorous and poignant story of his efforts to befriend Norman and share the Gospel with him. Join us for this classic program, a longtime favorite among Focus listeners, and be inspired to consider how you might share the love of Christ with those who seem unlovable.

I love the story and purchased it for my son who has befriended someone like Norman. It would be better if the two days were edited into one story and leave out part of the broadcasting parts. The story is wonderful!

This is Focus on the Family Radio broad cast of the story that was told on video. The story is POWERFUL and a great testimony of God's loving work.

I believe this is a rebroadcast. I purchased the CD because I had once owned the tape version. This rebroadcast contains too much talking by the commentators. The message stands alone and I would have prefered to here all of Mike Adkins without all the comments. In addition, I distinctly remember the first version. And this version has portions deleted, probably to make time for commentators. It is still worth a listen, but the original was much better.

I knew of a man named Lee who was mentally challenged. His community took care of him and he moved from home to home, living as a member of each family, until he died an old man. The Bible says that you care for Christ when you care for the less fortunate. Norman's story was inspirational and riveting.

A funny, loving tribute to a man others had misunderstood and was not given a chance because he was "weird Norman". Makes you laugh, cry and change your ways with other people when you start to see them as God does. Love! Highly recommend this one!

Originally I heard this broadcast on Focus on the Family. It has touched my life so I ordered it and have had my family listen to this message as well. My son is autistic and it hit home in a very personal way. I hope others who hear this message remember to be sensitive and caring to those around them - we are all created by God in a unique way and we all have something to contribute!

What a touching story. It is a great example of the great commandment. It motivates us to be aware of those around us and meet the needs of those who otherwise would be ignored.

Everyone should find someone a little different and befriend them. It will make the person feel that someone cares about them and you will be greatly blessed.

I received the order very prompt, & it was packaged well.
I was so glad to find the "A man called Norman" story on your site! It will make a great gift for our son, who grew up listening to his cassette tape over and over. I believe that it helped him be the compassionate person that he still is.

I hope and pray that there are millions of stories out there like this one that are true and I just have not heard them yet. It would be so reassuring to know there are millions of people out there that love the Lord as much as Mike did and to see what God can do when we are willing.

The first time I heard A Man Called Norman on Focus on the Family I ordered it. I really loved the story told by Mike Adkins and how it relates to people and the opinions they have of others.

I heard this many years ago and wanted my hustand to hear it, also. It's very funny, yet an inspiring story for all to re-evaluate our own personal walk with God.

After a recent discussion with a coworker about this broadcast, I decided to loan my CD with this recording to her. Imagine my dismay when I realized I have loaned to someone and it has not been returned. For a moment, I was thought a primal scream was warranted. This account of agape love is a classic and should be heard annually, to remind us of our responsibility to those who are the least among us. I am ordering a replacement today. >

I work in an agency that works with the disabled and elderly. I had seen this in Junior High about 15 years ago. I decided to show it to my staff (caseworkers) and show them how it could be used in our job as well. It was a wonderful opportunity for christianity to be used in the workplace. It was wonderful! Everyone was teary eyed and the discussion was great on how we should show respect, intergrity, safety, and things that we do in our job. We deal with Norman's in our work every day and I am so thankful to see such a great example like this. Someone made the suggestion of how Mike had met his physical needs before he shared Jesus and how impressive that was. What truth to that. The bible was not shoved down his throat, but shown by his actions.

This is a life changing message that challenges Christains to get out of their comfort zone and really practice what Jesus always intended us to do in his precious, holy, name. Until we are willing to be ministries to "the Normans in our lives" we are falling very short of what Jesus has planned for us to do.
