Have you ever felt ordinary? Do you feel as if your life doesn’t really count for much? Are you feeling defeated because of past or current failures? Are you wondering if there even is a God who cares about you and has a plan and a purpose for your life? Life can be very discouraging at times, and it is easy to slip into an attitude of despair and defeat. Looking back over the course of his life, author John Gowan came to realize that God did have a plan for his life greater than anything he could have imagined as a child, as a teenager, or as a young adult. Most of us have seasons of life that make it seem as if we are going nowhere. It wasn’t until he was in his early forties that John even came to have faith in Christ. But that faith has made all the difference in his life and the choices that followed. In this book, John not only chronicles his faith journey from childhood to adulthood but also shares insights on such topics as the end times and what kind of legacy we should want to leave. He will challenge you to think outside the box in his chapter “Things to Ponder.” Many today feel that we are living in very distressing times when not only our individual lives but life in general seems very uncertain. It is times like these that make seeking to grow your faith in a loving God even more important. What was true for the author is also true for you as you seek to know the one who created you and loves you so much that He sent His only Son to die for you.

There are numerous references to "the hand of God" or "the hand of the Lord" recorded in the Old and New Testament Scriptures. God's invisible hand is at work in the lives of people who trust Him and walk obediently with Him. God's hand saves, guides, provides, heals and performs miracles, but remains unseen to the human eye. Just as we cannot see the wind, but we can experience the effects of the wind, even so we can experience the invisible hand of God at work in our lives. This book is about the invisible hand of an extraordinary God at work in the life of an ordinary man

Just in time for the first anniversary of Billy Graham’s death, Allison’s reflection on the life and work of America’s pastor is now available in paperback. New preface by the author, new to this edition. Billy Graham said, “You have no idea how sick I get of the name Billy Graham, and how wonderful and thrilling the name Christ sounds to my ears.” So why another book about him? Lon Allison, evangelist himself, and popular evangelical pastor in Wheaton, Illinois, has learned much from Billy. Allison retells the highlights of what has been, by any objective account, a fascinating life, and tells it in a way that resonates with the Graham legacy of serving God and seeking to spread the Good News. Every stage of Graham’s life is included, even the rough spots, with appreciation and a desire to answer the question: What can we learn from the life and ministry of Billy Graham? What is his legacy? What was his message and how might it still be relevant for today. “Many will welcome the intimate details of his life revealed by Allison. Their close relationship allows the author to present a ‘bird’s-eye view’ of the evangelist.” —David Gibson, Catholic News Service

After retiring as a veterinarian, the author had much more time to spend with others, so he related stories of many of the experiences in his life. He was asked by family, friends, and others with whom he had shared if he had recorded these stories. Ernest never wanted to write his life story, but God revealed to him that he should record his experiences and title the book An Ordinary Man, An Extraordinary God. His procrastination to write ended when he had a back fusion with two rods and ten screws which required him to lay on a bone stimulator for four hours a day for six months; and during that time, he was not able to do any physical work. The book would show how God could take a country boy raised on a farm and use him to bring glory to God. Explaining how God used him could encourage others who also thought they were "nobodies" to realize that God could use any person that believed in God and spent time in His Word to walk in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit. The book begins just before Ernest received Jesus as his Lord and Savior and continues showing how, through His Word, the author received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, learned to walk in the Spirit, witnessed about God to others, prayed the prayer of faith for healing, cast out demons, and did other works of God. His walk with God and how he grew in faith is shared chronologically in the book. Now he could understand the groaning of the spirit within a Christian for the day of redemption when he would enter God's presence and be with Jesus for eternity.

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.

The Bible is a book unlike any other book ever written. God used different men, over a period of time, to record His thoughts and words to mankind. In essence, the men were the pen (or quill) in the hand of God. Each of our lives is also a book to be read by others. Some books have more chapters. Some have longer chapters. Some have more colorful chapters. With some, the ending is too abrupt. Ordinary Man/Extraordinary God is my attempt to be a pen in the hand of God. It is my attempt to brag about God by recalling His involvement in my life. I hope it inspires you to reflect and look for moments where you can brag about Him too.
