Extraordinary – the life you’re meant to live by John Bevere The Good. The Bad. The Ugly.
For this book John should have heeded some wise words from my first Camp Director. He said…
“At this camp we do two things. We have fun and we make disciples. If you mess up, then mess up on making disciples. Have fun. At least then the campers will come back next year and someone else can introduce them to Christ. If you try to make disciples at camp and have no fun, you won’t succeed at More...

I admire that the author uses Scripture in this book and that he exhorts us to search the Scriptures to make sure any teaching we hear (including his) is Biblical in the full context of the Bible. I can only hope that those who read his book take this advice.
Several chapters (chapters 2, 7-10) are very good and give a balanced view of what Scripture teaches about God's love for us and His grace toward us. Other chapters (chapters 3-6) are fairly Biblical as far as they go, but they d More...

Extraordinary is a self-help book for Christians who are seeking the to live life the way God intended it to be lived. It urges Christians to reach beyond mediocre living and expectations. It is meant to be a guide for every Christian who has ever wondered, Is this all there is to life?
This book was not at all what I expected. I imagined it to be a book filled with encouragement and reminders of God's promises that we are more than conquerors through Him. I expected a book to light More...

Extraordinary by John Bevere is subtitled: The Life You're Meant to Live. Bevere focuses in on the lack of life in the church today compared to the New Testament church. Our churches have become more of a social club than a force of God within the world. We are a subculture rather than a counterculture, and Satan has been able to use that lack of power to disenchant the world to Jesus. Bevere says, "Here's the sobering reality: godly men and women determine whether or not the will of God ge

- I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. –
This book was one I had a hard time reading. The author and I just disagree on so many things - sin, Satan, hell, judgment, fearing God, prayer, etc, etc... We have a different way of understanding the message of Jesus, the point of Christianity. We may agree every now and then, but it's never quite a complete agreement, it's only a half agreement. For example, I do believe that Jesus' mercy More...

I read this as part of a Bible study. It made me look at some things in a whole new way. Especually the issue of God's grace. It doesn't just save us, it empowers us to live life abundantly. The same Jesus who died on the cross lives in me. I need to live my life accordingly.

I think this book was great! It gave me the much needed reminder that living an extraordinary life comes from living in the grace of God and not my own strength. A must read to for those of us needing to be energized by good solid teaching and exposition on grace.

Excellent book. I will never be the same again! This book shed a whole new light on how Christians are supposed to live and the empowerment we have been given to live an extraordinary life. Highly recommended!

Can't say enough about John and Lisa Bevere. I am always challenged. This book is about grace - but not weak grace, the empowering Grace that God gives us to do His will.

An awesome book! John Bevere focuses on the heart of Christianity, Faith! Not just faith for salvation, but faith for Holy Living, divine healing, resources to meet needs, and ruling in life. He shows us God's plan through scriptures, including many, many examples in the Bible. But, we must put our hope in the God of Hope. Faith, hope, and compassion is what Jesus taught us, and that is how we should live. John B. reaffirms what the Bible teaches that we cannot do this on our own strength, but o

I've learned I can live extraordinary because that is what I am meant for. God gives us a life that far surpasses the usual definition of success or fulfillment.

This is a very informative book that even a new Christian will have no problems understanding. There are very few books that I really get deep down in and study more than once,but this is one book that will be included in my study books.

What a wonderful book explaining God's grace and how by accepting that grace we can live in so much more freedom and loving acceptance of a God who loves us THAT much to give us unmerited favor, undeserved pardon, so that we can live more balanced, fruitful lives by embracing this concept!
