Be Uncommon
God created you to be you , not someone else. So why do we so often settle for less? Why do we bow to the pressure to conform to others' expectations of us rather than boldly being the person we were meant to be? Why do we pretend to be satisfied with average, ordinary . . . common? What would it be like if we actually believed God desires to do something extraordinary with our lives?
In this inspiring new book from the bestselling author of An Enemy Called Average , you'll find the motivation and encouragement you need to stop settling and start stretching toward the goal of being you in the way only you can! In short, punchy chapters, John Mason shows you how to face down fear, doubt, criticism, and apathy with enthusiasm, decisiveness, persistence, and honesty. He shows you how to seek God's direction, develop wisdom, manage your time and energy, and take risks.
Outside of your comfort zone is where you'll find true fulfillment and contentment as you develop into the exceptional, extraordinary, uncommon person you were always meant to be. So what are you waiting for?

I read John Mason’s books as a companion to my morning devotional lessons as each chapter is brief. I find his books very encouraging, helping to start each new day with a positive mindset.
His books focus on faith in Christ and are not, at least so far, swerving into the ungodly teaching of manifesting reality as if we are little gods—but trusting in our uniqueness as creations of God. And walking in faith and obedience.
Our mental attitude makes a big difference in how we approach each day.

Received this book on 7 Mar 2023 as a Publisher's giveaway through GoodReads.com. The book is anticipated to be released 14 March 2023. Thank you, Baker Publishing Group and GoodReads.com for the opportunity to read and provide comment on this book before it is released.
Following the KIS principle (Keep It Simple), this book is separated into three main parts, each with a few 'chapters' running approximately 3 - 4 pages in length. Each individual chapter lays out a biblically based concept in simple, modern language. Examples are used to highly key concepts. This is an ideal book for the up and coming Christian business ingénue, as well as the recent College graduate looking for proven, timeless principles to stand out from the crowd. A great graduation present, a sweet gift, a wonderful stocking stuffer.

Este libro se siente como una mezcla inusual entre un texto de inspiración y ciertas referencias de corte "bíblico", lo que puede resultar extraño, sin embargo, si se logra filtrar el ruido, se pueden encontrar algunos mensajes interesantes.
