A Man Called Norman part 1

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. Rev. Adkins tells the humorous and poignant story of his efforts to befriend Norman and share the Gospel with him.

I heard this story years ago. It really touched my heart. Thank you very much for uploading this.

I think perhaps you should listen to this again. You are missing the reality of this story. This is simply a man telling about how the Lord used someone who society had dismissed to change and touch someone who by everyone else's standards had it all together. The story is not only about Norman changing but Mike Adkins as well.

Thank you for posting, I remember my mom had this video tape when i was a kid and I searched for it last night because I needed it. I needed to hear a good story. I am glad I got to hear it.

This movie was the movie I watched that lead me to Christ.

@ShenandoahToni the reason he repeats this is because it was true... at first. Eventually he came to love Norman and did these things out of love. He cant change the story to make himself sound accepting because he wasn't at first and he became accepting through Norman

I remember listening to this 15-20 years ago on Focus on the Family. I think we all have a Norman that God places in our paths. How often do we go around him, cross to the other side of the road (Luke 10.30) to avoid him.

Comically, this man teaches us how we should treat the Normans in our lives. This is a great reminder of who our neighbors are that we are to love as ourselves.

@ShenandoahToni My goodness. Did you actually listen to the story, friend?

Where can I find this audio teaching?

@ShenandoahToni Are you being judgemental and legalistic? I think the point he is making is that we are all that way, even God's people. Especially God's people. I don't detect hostility, just humor at an unfunny reality. We all need to be loving and accepting, then our churches will be full!

I think you should realize you are an Idiot.
