Publisher's summary

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.

A Great Spiritual Read

I read this slowly going back and listening again to many parts. Really well thought and presented. Certainly found that my perspective on God’s Work in the lives of the seemingly ordinary, of which I am one, is indeed great!

Inspiring, Biblical Read

This book was great! It is perfect for anyone stuck in a rut, or struggling with life. It is a great reminder that ordinary and unnoticed is where and how God works best. As a pastor, I cannot recommend this book enough, and have sent it to a few people that I think need to hear it. You will certainly do the same once you are done with it

Prepare yourself to be awed.

An amazing book that deserves to be read slowly and savored. Though I read it several years ago, I wanted to relive the experience with the audio version. Prepare yourself to be awed.
