If a burned and naked nine-year-old Vietnamese girl could turn the tide of an entire war, then imagine what you can do with your life. The truths revealed in The Power of an Ordinary Life will change you and your world forever.

Harvey Hook doesn't just write about making a difference, he does it! Using examples from Ashley Smith to Elisabeth Elliot to my daughter, Rachel Scott, Harvey challenges us to change the world. Sometimes it's the simple acts of kindness in obedience to God that revolutionize people's lives. I urge you to accept Harvey's challenge in The Power of an Ordinary Life.
Darrell Scott
founder, The Columbine Redemption
The most powerful preservation of history is captured not in events but through the lives of the people that lived it. The Power of an Ordinary Life will become a classic of our generation and future generations as it serves to capture the lives of those who made some degree of history in their time. I recommend this book for information, inspiration, and transformation. It's a winner.

We need more people who understand the idea that one person empowered by God can change the world. The Power of an Ordinary Life takes that thought from wishful thinking to living reality. Why would any of us want to settle for less?

Whether you've survived the killing fields of Rwanda or enjoyed the abundance of comforts in America, The Power of an Ordinary Life offers indispensable insights for whatever path of life you are on.
Immaculeè Ilibagiza

God is the one who puts the power in an ordinary life. The moment we allow the Lord to live in us, we can meet any challenge. This book is a wonderful guide and companion as we pursue our true calling from God.

The easiest way for us to change the world is to first touch the person next to us. The Power of an Ordinary Life is the perfect blueprint for changing the world forever.
Jack Hanna
host, Jack Hannah's Animal Adventures
Time changes, world order changes, people change, nations change, and ethics change - but God never changes. The old excuse of "everybody else is doing it" will not hold up when we stand before God. In The Power of an Ordinary Life, Harvey Hook powerfully applies God's Word to today's events.
