Convicting and ultimately empowering, Ordinary is not a call to do less; it\'s an invitation to experience the elusive joy of the ordinary Christian life..
He provides a guide to a Sustainable discipleship that happens over the long haul--not a quick fix that leaves readers empty with unfulfilled promises.
Far from a call to low expectations and passivity, Horton invites readers to recover their sense of joy in the ordinary.
What\'s needed is not another program or a fresh approach to spiritual growth; it\'s a renewed appreciation for the commonplace.
There\'s nothing wrong with an energetic faith; the danger is that we can burn ourselves out on Restless anxieties and unrealistic expectations.
Yet pastor and author Michael Horton believes that our attempts to measure our spiritual growth by our experiences, constantly seeking after the next big breakthrough, have left many Christians disillusioned and disappointed.
No one wants to be ordinary.
One thing is certain.
In fact, the greatest fear most Christians have is boredom--the sense that they are missing out on the Radical life Jesus promised.
Every word we read these days seems to suggest there\'s a next-best-thing, if only we would change our comfortable, compromising lives.
Transformative and restless.
Crazy.
