Hello from the Middle.

If your daily "Everest" looks suspiciously like that growing pile of unfolded laundry, and your evenings involve dental detective interrogations and the Great Stuffed Bunny Disappearance, you've found your people. In a noisy world shouting about the next big thing, The Ordinary Me is a quiet invitation to find genuine, God-centered hope right in the middle of our very normal circumstances.

Bryan Baldwin hasn't climbed any mountains or launched any world-changing apps. He's just an average guy trying to live a faithful life while battling inadequacy and running on sheer willpower (and diet soda). Through humor, honesty, and biblical insight, this book will help you:

• Deconstruct the myth that your value is tied to exceptional achievement.
• Dismount the comparison treadmill that breeds discontent.
• Discover the sacred dignity in everyday tasks.
• Embrace your limits as opportunities for God's grace.
• Redefine success based on Kingdom values, not worldly accolades.

It's time to discover that being beautifully, faithfully average might be the most extraordinary thing of all.

Bryan Baldwin is uniquely unqualified to write a book on achieving greatness. He has climbed zero mountains, holds no impressive degrees, and his most significant life achievement might be successfully hiding vegetables in his children's spaghetti sauce.His actual credentials include expertise in locating rogue Legos with his bare feet, extensive experience in the negotiation tactics of toddlers, and a PhD in "Intending to Read the Bible Today But Somehow Not Getting Around To It." He lives in Michigan with his much-more-organized wife, their three kids, and a dog who believes mud is an accessory.Fueled by grace and a concerning amount of diet cola, he wrote this book anyway, hoping other average folks might find some encouragement in knowing they aren't alone in the middle.
