In thirty brief chapters, she invites you to choose the adventure that fits who you are in authentically loving those around you. Yes, she knows: just the thought of adding something more to your life sounds exhausting. But here's the fantastic truth she's discovered in her own journey: We don't have to add lots more overwhelming activity to what we've already got going. The regular stuff of our lives--the commute to work and the potlucks and home improvement projects and errands and play dates--are the exact places in which we express and experience God's love for a world in need. With a list of resources, a study guide and a six-week Adventure Challenge, as well as plenty of stories and hilarity from Margot's own life, <em>Small Things with Great Love</em> will open your eyes to the people around you and the huge impact you can have on them through small acts of love. Small things happen when I learn the name of my daughter's school bus driver, Margot writes. Small things happen when I listen to the dreams of a woman who lives in a group home on my block. Small things happen when I risk crossing a language barrier even though I look really stupid doing it. And small things add up to big adventures and surprises, for you and others. The biggest surprise of all might be how powerfully God can use you, right in the midst of your walking-the-dog, paying-the-bills, doing-laundry life, when you're living out his love. Do the first small thing by opening these pages--and let the adventure begin!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Small Things with Great Love</em> will equip and inspire all who read it with the grace and knowledge that they can follow Jesus for real.</p>--Sarah Scherschligt, The Presbyterian Outlook, April 2, 2012<br><br><p>Delivered with wit and humour, this remarkable book compels readers to become world changers through small things with great love, instead of just wishing they were.</p>--Lailani Mendoza, Living Light News, March/April 2012<br><br><p>This book is perfect for a Bible study or just a group that would like to make the neighborhood they live in a little nicer. . . .
