    About this audiobook

    We're All Glory-Chasers and Pleasure-Seekers Every human wants to matter and be happy. . .as it should be. God made us to resemble and reflect His worth as we enjoy our true identity in Him. But we too often swap that calling for the trifles of this world, pursuing cheap substitutes to fill the craving of our souls. As Jonathan Parnell puts it, we settle for “stupid normal” over the transcendent, even though this world can never satisfy our hopes and dreams. In Never Settle for Normal Jonathan speaks to the heart of both skeptics and searchers by addressing their deepest longings. With insight and passion, he examines the key tenets of Christian faith-creation, fall, redemption, new creation-and reveals the life-changing glory of the Christian story in a fresh, new light. Discover the personal meaning and gladness you hunger for… and Never Settle for Normal!
