<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Sometimes God's call comes from a burning bush, but as Leroy Barber has learned through urban ministry with Mission Year, more often God calls to us from everyday misfortunes and common injustices. Join Barber as he shares the stories of biblical heroes and everyday saints and discover your role in seeing God's kingdom come.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's not every day that you get a visit from God. Burning bushes, ladders to heaven, chariots of fire and all that--we look for those stories in the Bible, and we look for them in our lives. When it comes to something as important as what we do with our lives, we think, maybe God owes us a big event. But, as Leroy Barber has learned through his work in inner cities and with young people, that's not usually how it works. More often God calls out to us from everyday misfortunes and all-too-common injustices, and he invites our response--not just a response in the moment, but a recognition that we have a role to play in seeing God's kingdom come, God's will done, on earth as it is in heaven. Through the surprisingly normal stories of the heroes of faith in the Bible, and through Barber's experiences with Mission Year and other ministries, in this book you'll learn what it means to change the world from your own little space in it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Everyday Missions</em> champions the solution for the mundane life as finding personal significance by connecting with God through engaging in a variety of activities that are abnormal to twenty-first-century suburban Westerners.</p>--Scott Zeller, Themelios, November 2012<br><br><p>[Barber] displays a contagious love for others and a willingness to risk common comforts in God's leading throughout <em>Everyday Missions</em>.
