the zen of the common man

I hate being common. Day to day grind is almost mind numbing to me. I have walked for years under the assumption that God did not put us here to be ordinary, but extaordinary. But now...my tune has changed. Now, I see that even in the day to day grind is an enlightenment that shouts of the true nature and plan of God.
I received this book as part of the Multnomah blogging for books program. I picked this book because none of the others looked like my cup of tea. Actually this one didn't either, but I submitted my request and in a few days I had my copy courtesy of this fine publisher.
In a nutshell...this book messed me up. Every thought I held about the normal or average life was presented to me in a way that caused me to totaly rethink me and my position in this world. Great concept, challenging text, and wonderful insite!
If you don't like the ordinary. Pick up this book, but be ready to see the average as anything but.
