-Descripcion Original:

¿Normal? ¿Quien es normal?Es seguro que usted no lo es. Tampoco lo es nadie que conozca. Ninguno de nosotros somos normales de acuerdo con la definicion de Dios, y mientras mas cerca estemos uno del otro, mas evidente se hara esto. Sin embargo, para todas nuestras excentricidades, pecados y exabruptos, nos necesitamos los unos a los otros. Comunidad es mas que solo una palabra… es uno de nuestros requerimientos mas importantes. Asi que ¿como pueden las personas con defectos y no normales como nosotros dominar las fuerzas que nos apartan y nos unen en las relaciones transformadoras de vida para las que Dios nos designo?En Todos son normales hasta que los conoces, el profesor y autor de exitos de ventas, John Ortberg, hace enfasis en aquello que marca nuestra comunidad. Tendras pensamientos inspiradores al mirar en el corazon de Dios, de los demas y en el tuyo propio. Aun mejor, obtendras sabiduria y las herramientas para poder acercarte a otros en formas poderosas e impactantes. Con humor, perspicacia y su don para narrar historias, Ortberg muestra como la comunidad paga grandes dividendos en felicidad, salud, respaldo y desarrollo. Es ahi cuando todos nosotros, personas extrañas y dificiles de tratar, encontramos el amor de Dios de manera tangible y descubrimos el poder transformador de ser amado, aceptado y valorado justo en la forma que somos. From the Back Cover Normal? Whos Normal? Not you, thats for sure! No one youve ever met either. None of us are normal according to Gods 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 Everybodys Normal Till You Get to Know Them, teacher and best-selling author John Ortberg zooms in on the things that make community tick. Youll get a thought-provoking look at Gods heart, at others, and at yourself. Even more, youll 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. Its where all of us weird, unwieldy people encounter Gods love in tangible ways and discover the transforming power of being loved, accepted, and valued just the way we are. The need for community is woven into the very fabric of our being. Nothing else can substitute for the life-giving benefits of connecting with others---not even God. He wont preempt the way He Himself has designed us to reflect His own intensely relational nature. But theres a hitch in our experience of community, says John Ortberg: Were all weird. Folks around us may seem normal enough, but just wait till we get to know them---and they get to know us. The unhealthy, sinful ways we respond to life in a fallen world are hardly Gods idea of normal, and they can make us as unhuggable as porcupines. We face the porcupine dilemma, says Ortberg: We need each other, but how do we get close without getting hurt? How do we get past all those quills and grow together in Christ? In Everybodys Normal Till You Get to Know Them, Ortberg once again reveals his gift for sharing profound insights using a lighten-up approach. With winsome humor and a fondness for well-spun stories, he pops the myth of normalcy and hands us the keys to creating and sustaining relationships. Gods dream for community encompasses the redemption of all spheres of life, he says. Who doesnt want like to be liked, to be wanted, to have solid, satisfying friendships! Ortberg shows what such relationships are made of. He reveals the benefits of authenticity---what it means to live with an unveiled face, as the
