Average Joe

Description

God’s Extraordinary Calling to Ordinary Men!

If you think your life is nothing special, take a look at it through God’s eyes. As young boys, we dreamed of being pilots, firefighters, doctors and cowboys. What happened? Now we’re getting older and we have kids, a wife, a mortgage, a not-so-glamorous job and a minivan. All of the dreams that once inspired us have evaporated into traffic jams, computer screens, bills and deadlines. Why is life so ordinary?

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 famer. 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.
