The God of the Mundane: Reflections on Ordinary Life for Ordinary People

by Matthew B. Redmond

Overview

It's OK to not be a "radical" Christian. Our life is not about what we do for God. It's about what he does for us.

You've heard the message. "If you really loved God, you would be totally committed-do something big, sell your belongings, maybe become a missionary." Matt Redmond has preached it himself. But here he simply asks: What about the rest of us?

Through stories of pastors, plumbers, dental hygienists, and stay-at-home moms, Matt finds grace and mercy in chicken fingers, classic films, and smiles from strangers. Ultimately, he convicts us of what he has learned himself...

There is a God of the mundane, and our life is not about what we do for him. It's about what he does for us.
