God chooses to use men who are faithful in doing the "ordinary" but important things of life. There's nothing "average" about simple faith, solid character, hard work, and commitment to wife, children, and friends.
"What is happening to my life?"
Have you ever honestly asked yourself that question? As young boys, we dreamed of being pilots, firefighters, doctors, and cowboys. Now we're older, with a wonderful wife and kids, as well as a mortgage, a minivan, and a fulfilling but not-so-glamorous job. What happened? All the dreams that once inspired us have evaporated into traffic jams, computer screens, bills, and deadlines. Why is life so ordinary?
If you think your life is nothing special, take a look at it through God's eyes.
The revealing truth is that God chooses "ordinary," faithful men to do His most important work-regular guys like Peter the fisherman, David the shepherd, Stephen the waiter, Gideon the farmer, Paul the tentmaker, and even Jesus the carpenter. In this engaging book, Troy Meeder blends stories about biblical characters and contemporary men to show that an "average-Joe" life, an "ordinary" existence, shapes a man's integrity, moral stability, resolve, and strength.
The world desperately needs an army of "average Joes." Like you.
"Troy Meeder's heart-felt accounts from both his own personal experience and those of friends and family touch a raw nerve in your soul.... Average Joe reminds us that living a life focused on faith, family, and friends is what makes a man exceptional."
-Rick Wiggers, average Joe and account manager
Includes a study guide for use by men's groups.
My Take on the Book
What was great about this book was that it shared the author's personal experience with practical down-to-earth advice that any man can connect with. The author provides guidance for any man who has either lost his way or merely wants to find out how he can make a difference in the world that surrounds him. While I know many Average Joe's, this book is definitely one that I would share with any and all guys that you know that want to identify a deeper spiritual gift for themselves that will help them be better men, but also better people overall. A Great book that I highly recommend!
