Lord, Make My Life a Miracle!

by Raymond C. Ortlund Sr.

Ray Ortlund was tired of being an ordinary pastor at an ordinary church. In a scene that seems right out of a Charles Sheldon book, Ortlund stood in front of his congregation and asked them to make a commitment a commitment to God, to the church, and to the work. He called this little ragtag band of Christians the Company of the Committed, something happened a spark set fire to an ember. A few years later there was no small group with a catchy name because the entire church had become a Company of the Committed. Like Ray, many Christians desire to be more than ordinary; they wish their lives to be a miracle. In their classic book, Ray and Anne tell how one band of Christians transformed their lives, their church, and their community.

[Shanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sometimes you just need a wise and winsome voice in your head reminding you of what is important. This book is a cheerful encouragement to center your life around God, commit to the body of Believers, and from that go out into the world to do good. It sounds simple, but a life that does it is truly a miracle! May God use this book and many like it to expand His kingdom in the world today.

Really great devotional-style read for my soul. Only one paragraph I didn't really like. You can see how his grandchildren didn't fall far from the tree of gospel fruitfulness in Ortlund's life. This may make it into a yearly rotation read.
