The Life You're Meant to Live

Publisher's summary

Satisfy your intrinsic desire to rise above the norm.

Isn’t it true that we long to see the extraordinary, experience the extraordinary, do the extraordinary? Yet, so often we settle for mediocrity when greatness is within our grasp.

Why are we drawn to stories of heroic triumph over seemingly impossible circumstances? In our fascination with adventure movies, superheroes, and tales of incredible human feats, do we reveal an inherent desire for something larger and greater in life? Maybe what we think is a need to escape or be entertained is actually a God inspired longing...for the extraordinary.

Best-selling author John Bevere reveals how all of us were “meant for more", extraordinarily created and intended for a life that is anything but ordinary. Here is the road map for your journey of transformation. You are marked for a life that far surpasses the usual definitions of success or fulfillment.

Isn’t it time to pursue your extraordinary life?

Critic reviews

"In Extraordinary, John Bevere does a wonderful job of showing what God created us for and how that applies to all areas of our lives. As a professional athlete, I am constantly dealing with the balance of being extraordinary for God, as well as in my career. This book has shown me that there is no separation between our spiritual lives and our everyday lives. God has called us to live extraordinarily, every minute of every day. This book is a must read for those who are looking to live fully immersed in the greatness of Jesus!" (Kurt Warner, NFL quarterback and two-time league MVP)
"John Bevere is one of the most passionate people I know, and I believe he has truly grasped the meaning of John 10:10: 'I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.' In Extraordinary he digs into the Word to show what it looks like to please God and use the talents He has given us. John pushes believers to the edge to get them to launch out into the deep. He lives life to the fullest and, through these pages, will inspire you to experience the joy of serving Christ with passion." (James Robison, LIFE Outreach International)
"John Bevere shows from the Word that everyone who wants it can live a life with impact. This book hits hard with truth. No more boring, watered-down, weak spiritual life for the body of Christ. Let's do it! We can all release God's power and do the extraordinary!" (Shaun Alexander, former NFL MVP)

Faith is being sure of what I’m created for

Thank You for showing me how weak I am and even the the world says it’s normal to live a life full of sin and defeated you have made it clear through Scripture CHRIST HAD DEFEATED SIN THAT WE MAY LIVE A RIGHTEOUS LIFE EMPOWERED BY HIS SPIRIT TO LIVE AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE FULL OF LOVE, GRACE AND MERCY. Today is the first step to enjoying a EMPOWERED LIFE

growing in Grace

Wow, learn about the power of Grace, how it works and why it don't. chapter 16 is a must I am going back to listen again. first time to just know know, second time to study, third to walk.

Amazing audio book!!!!!

This audio book is full of grace and truth that Jesus has already revealed to us through himself!!!! Highly recommend it!!!

Awesome Book!!

Would you listen to Extraordinary again? Why?

Yes, Definitely!

Have you listened to any of John Bevere’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, All of his books are amazing and insightful. He points out things in the bible I've never gotten before.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Grace is when you get something you don't deserve. Mercy is when you don't get something you do deserve.

Any additional comments?

Great book. I love all of his books. I highly recommend

divinely inspired words to nourish the soul

It is rare to find authors who stand firmly on the words of God. John clearly does this through his use of scripture. He is also skilled at illustrating biblical concepts. I have read some of these scriptures over and over again, but it took John's obedience to God's plan for them to be revealed to me.

John and team, I thank you for this work!

So encouraging and powerful!

Such amazing amazing book! Full of scripture and power in Christ! Glory to God! Identity is huge and John Bevere digs deep into this topic.

NECCESSARY

EVERYONE needs to KNOW this! Don't just read it, study it OVER & OVER! #EMPOWERING!

Inspiring AND informative!

This is some really foundation stuff when it comes to being effective in your ministry. I very much liked how often he quotes scripture, though it troubles me a bit how much he seems to lean on The Message "translation"... seems likely that he makes that choice simply because of how well it fits literarily with his writing style, which is very conversational and makes profound topics very easy to comprehend.

My main gripe would be the number of times that the audiobook leaves out chapter/verse references when quoting scripture (guessing the text copy has footnotes?)... he includes that info a lot, but he also quotes scripture a lot, so the missing references do add up.

Overall, HIGHLY recommended to any believer. Even if you don't agree with everything, this will expand your spiritual journey - and it caused me to spend more time in the word, which is always a good thing!

Great Teaching

Great teaching on power we've been given by grace through faith in Christ to live victorious in this present time. A lot is covered in this book. Definitely must listen to it twice to get the fullness of this in depth teaching.

helpful and encouraging

third book. looking forward to many more. helpful while studying the Bible. thank you.
