Synopsis

In Your Average Joe Unplugged, Joseph Schneller voices inner struggles of faith that resonate broadly among Christians. He writes for those tired of the canned answers, for everyday believers desiring to live in faith amidst the joys and pains, the responsibilities and tragedies of life. Through 30 daily devotionals and a half-dozen humor articles, he presents honest, often humorous encouragement for your Christian pilgrimage through this fallen world.

And all throughout he shows how, by Christ’s grace, our everyday lives can have eternal impact.

Review

Joe Schneller sees the profound in the simple, the eternal in the ordinary, and thus catches glimpses of God’s grace at work in everyday life where we spend most of our time. Behind the humor is keen insight into trusting, loving, and obeying God.

Anything but average! Exceptionally warm and witty devotionals interspersed with excellent humor columns.

Your Average Joe Unplugged offers a refreshing blend of honesty and humility in this daily devotional. There is no substitute for real world life experience when addressing the doubt and struggles we all face. Average Joe is brave enough to step into the limelight and expose doubt and fears. After drawing the reader in with honest vulnerability, Your Average Joe then has the wisdom to offer refreshment and hope from God’s Word...

Your Average Joe has a finger on the pulse of the American public and that is revealed in his careful writing of “Today’s Prayer." Many Americans struggle with prayer. Your Average Joe offers prayers that effectively voice being tired, worn out, beaten up, and discouraged. Then the prayer gently shifts to recognition of God’s grace and mercy. There are layers of truth and encouragement written into each prayer. By the time you finish the Your Average Joe 30 day devotional, you will know God better and have a more clear understanding of how much He loves you.
