Is this just another book about abundant life?
Well ... it is a book about "abundant life" but it is definitely NOT just another book. No More Ordinary is a challenge, taken straight from the pages of the greatest book ever written, to live the life of God's dreams! You know, Jesus said, in John 10:10, "I have come that you might have life! And that you might have it in its fullest measure!"
The life that Jesus was talking about in this familiar passage of Scripture is not eternal life. He was referencing the extraordinary, ordinary life that we are empowered to live this side of eternity. Jesus came so that we could tap into all that He is before we ever meet Him face to face.
Jesus came so that our ordinary lives would not be ordinary at all ... but that our lives would be filled to overflowing with joy, with purpose and with Him!
Details! We want some details about this book!!
Woven through every chapter of No More Ordinary is the life story of a man or a woman who lived incredibly well inspite of horrific circumstances or events. I want the readers to know that circumstances are not an excuse to refuse a life that reeks of heaven's atmosphere and abounds with strength and peace.
In every generation, at every moment of history, the people of God have chosen to live a miraculous story even when their world was falling apart. This is part of the abundance ... that circumstances don't dictate the type of life we live!
Also - at the end of every chapter there is a Scripture to memorize, a declaration to make and a prayer to pray.
Do you have a favorite chapter, Carol?
I think that my favorite chapter is "The Greatest Love Story Ever Told". Did you know that you are the main character in the grandest romance of all time? What makes your life so incredible is that you are the object of God's undying love and eternal affection! From the Garden of Eden to the Book of Revelation, God's love has been chasing you down. You are the pursued of God's eternal love ... and that, my friend, is what makes your life sizzle with hope and goodness.
Who Should Read This Book?
Truthfully ... I wrote this book for men and women who want to know the secret of life. I wrote this book because my heart aches for people who are settling for half a life ... when a life of miracles and sustenance is offered. This is not a self-help book nor is it for the faint of heart but it is for ordinary people who long to wring the extraordinary out of life.
So Carol ... is your middle name Pollyanna or Mary Poppins?!
I am just a girl who is head over heals in love with Jesus and is hopefully addicted to His Word. My story, in a very small nutshell, is that I have 5 children on earth and 5 children in heaven. During the darkest days of my life, I developed an addiction. The addiction that I developed is to the Word of God. The Bible delivered me from emotional and circumstantial pain and now my passion in life is to convince women that they can live well ... they can live with gusto and with joy regardless of their circumstances!
