    About this ebook

    How to be a hero when you’re feeling anything but super

    Despite all the superhero hype, the problems and pain in our world aren’t going away. In fact, it often feels like the threats just keep coming. But the good news is that God has placed you here for such a time as this. And the even better news? You don’t have to get rid of your anxiety, debt, speech impediment, extra weight, health issues, disability—or any other weakness—to be used by God. What this world actually needs is less-than-super people making small but significant differences in their own corners of the world.

    Through inspiring stories from the Bible and his own life, Dan Stanford demonstrates that with God availability is more important than ability. Losing the Cape is an invitation to start making the world a better place through your ordinary, everyday presence.

      Ask And You Shall Receive…

      Feb 9, 2024

      When something is repeated over and over again, it can lose its impact. As Christians, how often do we hear the scripture, “Ask, and you shall receive ... knock, and the door shall be opened”? It is so popular, and so repeated, but yet is such a powe
