Books like Extraordinary: The Life You're Meant to Live

This was excellent.John writes like he speaks. He uses Scripture to support all of his assertions and then illustrates them with examples from his own or others lives. The way John uses Scripture is incredible. He reflects on multiple versions and provides the most relevant version for the point he is trying to support.What was most significant for me in reading this book was I now have a full understanding of grace. I've been living naively believing that grace is mostly provided for salvation and ongoing salvation, ie, forgiveness. However, the core of this book is how God has so generously and extravagantly provided us with all the necessary grace to equip us to live the lives that He designed us for. So in battling sinful habits, grace is the solution. In "ruling in life", grace is the enabler. In equipping us to achieve the desires God has planted in our hearts, grace is the answer.This is such an eye opener for me and am so appreciative of "getting it" now. How do I access grace? Faith. Living knowing that God is good, faithful, trustworthy and loves me intensely.Sure this probably isn't news to most of you reading this, but that linkage has been a revelation for me.How do you we live Extraordinarily? By building faith through reading His Word and allowing the Word to transform our minds and more importantly, getting it "deep within our heart."I can't recommend this book enough. I also worked through the accompanying devotional workbook. It's one of the best workbooks I've used. It reinforces what the book says, embellishes it with more truth & examples whilst challenging the reader to respond personally to the key concepts.Once again, I would highly recommend buying the workbook as it helps embed the material.
