Radically ordinary
Voluntarily anonymous author
Live and die without humanity noticing you? What a profound injustice!
Let's be honest, we are dying to be someone. The proof: we spend all our energy to be successful, to be admired and to leave our mark somewhere in this world - anywhere! The worst part is that we try to cover this up with so-called spiritual ambitions. Unfortunately, most Christians have fallen into the trap. And many of us do not realize it.
This book is a call to follow in the footsteps of our humble King, to let go of the human vision of success and start living in a radically ordinary way. I could not bring up this subject and, at the same time, show off myself. So I chose to remain anonymous. Are you ready for this challenge too?
