About this audiobook
An invitation to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary and imperfect aspects of your life; not as a call to settle for less, but rather as a way to mysteriously participate in God's power and purpose.
Glenn Packiam wants to empower listeners to find great joy, purpose, and passion in their daily living. While bread may be one of the most common items on our dinner tables, Jesus chose to take it at the Last Supper and invest deep, wonderful, and transcendent meaning in it. Like the bread that was blessed, broken, and given; listeners will see how God uses ordinary experiences to cultivate their mission and their brokenness to bring healing to the world. The ordinary is not the enemy; it is the means by which God accomplishes the miraculous. Through clear biblical teaching and practical steps, Packiam leads the listener into a more purposeful, directed, hopeful future.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Having an audiobook read by the author is absolutely priceless. Know that you are hearing the intended emphasis and inflection and the emotion behind every word makes this listen amazing.
On top of that, the content of this book is clear, refreshing, and attainable. This book has helped me to have a renewed view of the ordinary and a new perspective on the Eucharist (Lord's table). I highly recommend this book, it will make you think and it will stick with you in ways many books fail to.
