About this listen

Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.

In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross - a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.

Your God Is Too Glorious reminds listeners that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Great book from a man who has the marks of Christ.

Fantastic book by Chad. He has been through a lot and you can see that this has greatly helped his Theology. To God be the Glory!!

On and on, and on.

The book could be summed up succinctly by saying that God is found in the ordinary, the mundane, the everyday and we can miss Him if we're only looking for Him in the dramatic. Yet Chad uses 100 words when 20 would do, often using paintings questionable word pictures. At times I found the long winded nature of His writing tedious and a chapter could have been much much shorter. I am not tempted to go out and read another of his books.
