From true life stories of ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, author Harvey Hook draws insight and motivation, and calls each of us to embrace a new mission in life.
In recounting amazing circumstances of current events, and in reaching back to ordinary heroes of recent history, Harvey looks at the lives of those who dared to make a difference. Where did they get their courage? Where did they find their power? How can we too rise to the height of the possibilities within us?
Ultimately, The Power of an Ordinary Life provides fresh encouragement for becoming something more; for living with a new purpose and mission for changing the world; and for tapping into the power God gives each of us to make a difference.
Harvey Hook touches on the legacy each one of us hopes to leave. Hook explores the concept of redemptive action--how each of us can impact the world around us. He uses true-life stories of people in ordinary life who were plunged into remarkable circumstances and achieved extraordinary things. Using both stories that are current and historical--stories of younger and older people alike--this book will appeal to a wide range of people. From these stories, the author derives insights and truths to help others apply themselves to make a difference in this world.

Wow...is the first and foremost thing I can say about this book. What I mean by this is this book is truly amazing and it made me open up my eyes about how important our relationship to God really is. This book has made me cry and think about how each person's story relates to mine. I am not a big reader but this book has caught my attention and I can honestly say this is a true blessing because I am still seeking to know God more. I highly recommend this for anyone and especially if you are like me that still is not sure where your life is.
