Average Joe

“What is happening to my life?” Have you ever honestly asked yourself that question? As young boys we dreamed of being pilots firefighters doctors and cowboys. Now we’re older with a wonderful wife and kids as well as a mortgage a minivan and a fulfilling but not-so-glamorous job. What happened? All the dreams that once inspired us have evaporated into traffic jams computer screens bills and deadlines. Why is life so ordinary? If you think your life is nothing special take a look at it through God’s eyes. The revealing truth is that God chooses “ordinary” faithful men to do His most important work—regular guys like Peter the fisherman David the shepherd Stephen the waiter Gideon the farmer Paul the tentmaker and even Jesus the carpenter. In this engaging book Troy Meeder blends stories about biblical characters and contemporary men to show that an “average-Joe” life an “ordinary” existence shapes a man’s integrity moral stability resolve and strength. The world desperately needs an army of “average Joes.” Like you. “Troy Meeder’s heart-felt accounts from both his own personal experience and those of friends and family touch a raw nerve in your soul…. Average Joe reminds us that living a life focused on faith family and friends is what makes a man exceptional.”—Rick Wiggers average Joe and account manager Includes a study guide for use by men’s groups.
