Reading iswhatIdobest.com: October 2009

There’s a question that troubles many believers: “Why am I not experiencing more joy, more hope, more satisfaction, more intimacy, more power, more everything in my Christian life--didn’t Jesus promise that?”

He did promise an abundant life, but too many people are trapped by the curse of “the ordinary.” They have accepted the wrong idea that following God means losing individuality, creativity, and a passion for achieving lofty goals.

Nothing could be further from the truth! John Bevere builds a convincing case, straight from Scripture, for a way of living marked by extraordinary experiences and accomplishments—the life God always intended for his children.

Here is a guide to understanding God’s incredible plans, and how to enjoy a life where he adds the “extra” to “ordinary.”

Extraordinary

by John Bevere

Dear Melody,

Best-selling author John Bevere reveals the key that unlocks the gift of an extraordinary life in the Extraordinary blog tour. The blog tour week will be October 5^th-9^th.

Grace brings believers into relationship with God. But many Christians don’t understand that grace is also the power source for incredible joy, success, and peace in life. In Extraordinary, John Bevere presents a logical, compelling, and deeply inspiring case straight from Scripture for living a life far above “the ordinary.”

Each blog tour participant will receive:

A complimentary review copy of the book
1 extra copy to give away on your blog – please request the giveaway in your RSVP e-mail. (Please keep in mind postage will not be provided for you to send the giveaway copy)

Please RSVP to me by Monday August 24^th, if you want to participate.

We want this to be fun for you, so if you run out of time to read and review the book, please post the summary and cover art below.

And don’t forget to include a link in your post to the Random House website. Here they will see all of the different options where they can purchase the book online:
