I’ve got bad news, America: “Normal” stinks! The normal family is broke, stressed, overworked and generally unhappy. If we want God’s best for our families, faith and finances, we’ve got to stop striving for normal-and start being Weird!
-Dave Ramsey, host of The Dave Ramsey Show and best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover
“Craig Groeschel is the weirdest person I’ve ever known. And once you’ve read this book, you’ll understand that’s the highest compliment I could ever pay him. Groeschel’s passion for God, integrity, and wisdom are abnormal. He approaches his relationship with God on a level that compels all of us to go higher. And it’s these very distinctions that make him the perfect person to help you stand apart from a world that is dying in a sea of normalcy. I can’t recommend WEIRD highly enough.”
—Steven Furtick, senior pastor, Elevation Church; author of Sun Stand Still
“Craig Groeschel has always been different—in a good sort of way. His new book, WEIRD: Because Normal Isn’t Working, will motivate you to abandon the normal path and live for Jesus with all your heart.”
—Jentezen Franklin, pastor of Free Chapel and author of New York Times bestseller Fasting.
“This book is nothing at all normal. It’s weird. And weird is good. Groeschel’s challenge is a timely one, motivating us to jump off the normal path, onto one that may seem weird. As followers of Jesus, we should be different and set apart from the culture around us, to live lives that stand out, never settling for normal again. . . . Since normal is a long way from what God ever intended for us, it’s time to turn up the weird!! Thanks, Craig, for laying a framework back to what God called us to.”
—Brad Lomenick, executive director of Catalyst
“Normal doesn’t work! Normal has never accomplished anything significant. And Jesus didn’t die on a cross so that his followers could live normal lives. Craig Groeschel does an amazing job of challenging us to go beyond the expectations of others in order to honor the calling that Jesus has placed on our lives. Jesus was a lot of things . . . but “normal” wasn’t one of them. Craig challenges all of us to stop being normal!”
—Perry Noble, Senior Pastor of NewSpring Church
