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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEverybody’s Normal Till You Get to Know Them\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ng-star-inserted\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" _ngcontent-ilf-c245=\"\"\u003eAuthor Bio:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" _ngcontent-ilf-c245=\"\"\u003eJohn Ortberg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ng-star-inserted\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" _ngcontent-ilf-c245=\"\"\u003eJohn Ortberg is the senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church (MPPC) in the San Francisco Bay Area.
