Normal? Who's normal? Not you, that's for sure! No one you've ever met, either. None of us are normal according to God's definition, and the closer we get to each other, the plainer that becomes. Yet for all our quirks, sins, and jagged edges, we need each other. Community is more than just a word--it is one of our most fundamental requirements. So how do flawed, abnormal people such as ourselves master the forces that can drive us apart and come together in the life-changing relationships God designed us for? In Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them, teacher and bestselling author John Ortberg zooms in on the things that make community tick. You'll get a thought-provoking look at God's heart, at others, and at yourself. Even better, you'll gain wisdom and tools for drawing closer to others in powerful, impactful ways. With humor, insight, and a gift for storytelling, Ortberg shows how community pays tremendous dividends in happiness, health, support, and growth. It's where all of us weird, unwieldy people encounter God's love in tangible ways and discover the transforming power of being loved, accepted, and valued just the way we are.

As you read this summary, you will discover that you live in an imperfect community, but that you can always do something to make it better. You will also learn that : you cannot live without others; human relationships are naturally chaotic; you will only build real relationships if you remain authentic; there are many ways to improve your interpersonal relationships; others are there to help you. Of all the relationships you have with others on a daily basis, the proportion of people you really know is very small. As a result, you are often confronted with conflict, mistrust and slander. You may find it difficult to fully appreciate others because you perceive only a small part of who they really are. There is nothing satisfying about living in a community. What you need is to get closer to others, but you just don't know how to do it. So how do you live together so that no one feels alone anymore? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?
