Synopsis

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 readers 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.

This was a really fantastic book that beckons the reader to stop looking for God's favor, blessings, and teachings in merely the big and showy, but instead to find him in the "lowly" places of the world. I highlighted so many good quotes. Chad Bird's writing is very relatable, but also very artful.......more

Goodreads review by Emma

As I have been growing in my Christian journey over the last year, I have found myself reading a lot more Christian books. For the most part I can come away from a book feeling like I have learnt something, and with this book I feel like I have not only learnt something new but also grown in underst......more

Goodreads review by Joan

Do we sometimes make God too holy, too other, too glorious to see Him as part of our daily life? Do we want to have a famous ministry when God just wants us to love the elderly lady next door? Do we want to see a great vision from the Lord when He just wants to speak to us through the child we meet......more
