Living Above the Average by William MacDonald



Publisher's Review: Must we live ho-hum, hum-drum lives, talking and singing Christianity on Sunday but living the rest of the week in a spiritual desert? Is it possible to live above the average? This collection of true-life stories will not only thrill you to read,but can provoke you-in a good way-"to love and good works" (Hebrews 10:24). These are the accounts of ordinary people who want God to do extraordinary things through them. And He will! Paul knew the secret when he wrote about such a God who "is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20).

Summary: Over 28 short stories about people who have display Christlikeness. If God gives a command, He will provide the power to do it. All believers are called to live in a Christlike manner but we don't always do it. These stories give examples of the following (as well as many others):

~ What if a stranger thrust a baby into your arms and told you it was the fruit of your sin and thereby ruined your reputation?
~ If you were a young successful lawyer, would you forsake all (including all your possessions) to live in a slum and minister to the poor?
~ How would you respond if you were the widowed mother of five sons and one day received news that all five had been killed in battle?
~ What would you do if you were converted and then convicted about being in partnership with an unbeliever? What would you be willing to lose?
~ Would you apologise if you spoke the truth to a work colleague but spoke in a harsh manner?
~ If you had an opportunity to compete for a gold medal in the Olypics would you turn it down because of a conflict with principles of faith?
~ How would you react if somebody grabs the Bible which you are reading and throws it into a fire?
~ If you were treated inhumanely by the guards of a concentration camp but then one guard becomes a Christian and seeks forgivenss from you, would you forgive him?
