FINDING REAL FAITH IN ORDINARY LIFE. So often we think that the spiritual stuff of life happens in cathedrals or chapels; like faith is supposed to have its proper place. But the truth is that you and I are surrounded by moments of great faith all the time. We hardly see them but they are there - in the midst of ordinary life all around us. Catching sight of those moments could completely change the way we see the world. These stories are taken from a very ordinary life. You will laugh at the way that God can be found in simple things like flat tires, crying kids, rock tumblers and cats. You might even cry as you recognize yourself in a story and discover that God is there in the midst of your ordinary life too. Clay Lein is a husband, father and pastor living in Dallas, Texas. He began his career as an engineer with Intel Corporation, completed his MBA in 1990 and in a not so obvious next step became a priest in 1996. His ability to find faith and hope in ordinary life has helped thousands to discover ordinary faith within themselves.

Radical. Crazy. Transformative and restless. Every word we read these days seems to suggest there’s a “next-best-thing,” if only we would change our comfortable, compromising lives. In fact, the greatest fear most Christians have is boredom—the sense that they are missing out on the radical life Jesus promised. One thing is certain. No one wants to be “ordinary.” 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. There’s nothing wrong with an energetic faith; the danger is that we can burn ourselves out on restless anxieties and unrealistic expectations. What’s needed is not another program or a fresh approach to spiritual growth; it’s a renewed appreciation for the commonplace. Far from a call to low expectations and passivity, Horton invites readers to recover their sense of joy in the ordinary. 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. 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.

Inspiration from the book of Hebrews on how to live by faith in Jesus. As Christians, we experience great joy in knowing God through Jesus and great hope in the promise of an eternity spent with God. Yet we still get weary in this life and can feel discouraged. Whether it's personal disappointment, opposition or just the costly grind of church life that gets us down, we all need help to keep going. This wonderfully encouraging book by Bible expositor Richard Coekin will spur you on to live by faith in Jesus as you examine the witnesses of Hebrews 11. The refreshing honesty of their stories will help you manage your expectations in a world of lies and spin. They will remind you of the glory and blessing that await you at the finishing line. And they will encourage you to see that Jesus is the real Hero of the faith and that his Spirit will enable you to endure through exhaustion, opposition and discouragement. Ideal for private devotional reading for those in need of refreshment, a timely gift for a discouraged Christian friend, and useful background reading to a small-group study of Hebrews 11.

For too many years, Terri Broome lived in open rebellion against God. She married at twenty-one, hoping that her husband could fulfill her and quiet the gnawing unrest in her soul. Instead, she remained unhappy, and the marriage ended in divorce. Terri blithely continued living her life-until God intervened. Down-to-earth and brutally honest, "The Ordinary Road" chronicles what happened when Terri decided to give everything to God, no matter the cost. She shares how, at the age of twenty-two, God found her and washed her clean from her sin. She reconciled with her husband and became a wife and mother. Yet Terri still had to surrender all to God, even down to the smallest aspects of her life, and it wasn't an easy process. With gentle humor, she describes how she wrote a letter to the IRS to confess tax evasion, rooted out hypocrisy, and tried to focus on talking to God instead of always talking about God. She began inviting neighbors to her home for Bible study, and soon the Holy Spirit started to work in her life in ways Terri never could have imagined. Inspiring and unforgettable, "The Ordinary Road" shares how God's magnificent grace made one woman's life extraordinary.

The Bible is full of heroes people doing God's work and heeding His call. At one time, however, these prophets, disciples, and pivotal personalities were ordinary people just like us. In Ordinary People, Extraordinary God, author and minister Scott G. Van Note shows us how, as the pinnacle of the Lord's creation, we too can be heroes of faith and accomplish great and mighty things for Him. Van Note focuses on the people of the Bible, presenting stories of their lives to show how their ordinary lives were transformed by their willingness to listen to God's Word. Two interactive chapters contain worksheets to help readers understand how their lives and experiences relate to the lives of the biblical people that are discussed. The questions posed offer food for individual reflection as well as for youth and adult group study and discussion. Through His Word, God has poured out love and compassion for each of us, and He is still in the business of helping, blessing and gifting His creation. Ordinary People, Extraordinary God helps us relate to Scripture and the people within it like never before. God does desire to use us in His kingdom, and if we are willing, He will use us mightily. "Ordinary People, Extraordinary God shows how God uses people just like you and me in powerful ways, when we act on faith in Him and His word, and abandon the bad habit of trusting in our own strength, plans, and ideas. As I read the book and was reminded of those in the Biblical story whom we think of as heroes of the faith, I was challenged to renew my absolute trust in and obedience to the Lord. I know Scott, and he is a man who models this life of faith and obedience. I recommend this book as a source of encouragement and challenge in our faith walk."

Refugia Faith: Seeking Hidden Shelters, Ordinary Wonders, and the Healing of the Earth explores how Christian spirituality and practice must adapt to prepare for life on a climate-altered planet. Refugia (reh-FU-jee-ah) is a biological term describing places of shelter where life endures in times of crisis, such as a volcanic eruption, fire, or stressed climate. Ideally, these refugia endure, expand, and connect so that new life emerges. Debra Rienstra applies this concept to human culture and faith, asking, In this era of ecological devastation, how can Christians become people of refugia? How can we find and nurture these refugia, not only in the biomes of the earth, but in our human cultural systems and in our spiritual lives? How can we apply all our love and creativity to this task as never before? Rienstra recounts her own process of reeducation--beginning not as a scientist or an outdoors enthusiast but by examining the wisdom of theologians and philosophers, farmers and nature writers, scientists and activists, and especially people on the margins. By weaving nature writing, personal narrative, and theological reflection, Rienstra grapples honestly with her own fears and longings and points toward a way forward--a way to transform Christian spirituality and practice, become a healer on a damaged earth, and inspire others to do the same. Refugia Faith speaks to people securely within the faith as well as to those on the edge, providing a suitable entry for those who sense that this era of upheaval requires a transformed faith but who don't quite know where to begin.

The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and be known by God. God longs for an intimate relationship with us as well. But how do we develop that kind of relationship with a holy God? It is one thing to long for such a relationship, but quite another to experience intimacy with Him. In Leaving Ordinary, Donna Gaines shares from her personal experience how prayer can become the channel that links the believer’s heart to the heart of God. God gave the pattern of the tabernacle to the Israelites. It was a temporary and portable dwelling for His glory. Through it God taught them how to approach and worship Him before He led them to their reward—the promised land. Using the tabernacle and its articles as a guide, Donna teaches readers how to interact with God in that secret place of true intimacy that leads to worship. Your ordinary daily practice of prayer can become an extraordinary encounter with the living Lord. Leaving Ordinary is essential reading for anyone who desires to enter into and experience the reality of God’s presence. As you read, you will: Explore the tabernacle and discover how it can be a guide for prayer today. Learn how to gain a stronger, more intimate relationship with God. Develop your own personal prayer testimony as you experience His presence.

First appearing as articles in Evangelical Times, Seeing the Invisible tells the stories of ten ordinary Christians who exercised extraordinary faith in their God. None of these individuals is a famous name in Christian history, but their faith in, and devotion to, Christ encourages and inspires us to exercise similar faith in the same powerful God who enabled them to 'endure as seeing him who is invisible'. The orginal articles have been expanded to include more background material and further details from the lives of these believers.
