WEIRD : Because normal isn’t working
By Craig Groeschel

Do you want to be challenged to go against the flow when
that is the right thing to do? What if
someone thinks you are weird for doing things differently than the
majority? Weird may be the goal, when
normal is not working. “Normal” in our
society includes divorce, premarital sex, pornography, pop culture, R-rated
movies, etc. Groeschel challenges us to
be weird, not normal.
Instead of making a “to do” list, make a “to don't”
list. (You can’t do everything, so make
wise choices for your time based on prayer.)
Instead of making your own New Year’s resolutions, try
asking a trusted friend what one New Year’s resolution they want you to work
on.
In conclusion, the reader is asked to reflect on
questions such as “What one thing do you desire from God?”, ‘What one thing do
you lack?”, and “What one thing should you let go?”
Groeschel writes in a very easy, personal and witty
manner, which makes this a pleasant read at the same time as being challenging.
