Ordinary: Sustainable Faith in a Radical, Restless World

In Ordinary: Sustainable Faith in a Radical, Restless World, theologian Michael Horton issues a countercultural and deeply refreshing defense of the ordinary Christian life. In an evangelical culture obsessed with being 'radical,' doing 'next-level' things for God, and seeking constant emotional highs, Horton reminds believers of the beauty, dignity, and sustainability of ordinary faithfulness. Rooted in Reformed theology, the book highlights God's primary means of grace: gathering with the local church, hearing the preaching of the Word, participating in baptism and the Lord's Supper, loving one's family, and serving neighbors through daily vocation. Horton provides an antidote to spiritual burnout, offering profound peace, enduring joy, and spiritual grounding in an anxious, restless, and hurried world. It is an essential, clarifying read for modern Christians seeking an authentic, grounded faith that honors Christ in everyday callings.
