““Justin Kendrick masterfully resurrects the vision and practices of discipleship in Bury Your Ordinary. This book gives the reader very clear and practical ways to bring Christ to life in our everyday existence. It is the kind of book you will read, put into practice, and then share with others.”
“The church in North America is so in need of effective road maps that guide us in what effective and practical discipleship looks like. What does it mean to apprentice ourselves to Jesus, our Messiah and Lord? What does it look like to raise up a generation of Jesus followers who can withstand the cultural and spiritual headwinds we’re facing with joy, grace, and spiritual power? My friend Justin Kendrick has given us a great gift in Bury Your Ordinary. He’s lived out and field-tested what he shares and is seeing ‘fruit that remains.’ It is possible for believers new and old to grow in maturity and become active participants in helping the kingdom flourish, even in these challenging times. I highly recommend this book to pastors and leaders of all kinds who long to see our churches grow and thrive.”
“This book is for anyone who wants more—more than the mundane life, more than a Sunday kind of faith, more than the ordinary grind. A perfect blend of biblical truth and practicality, Justin’s words are both timely and timeless. It is packed with invitations to keep coming back to the pages, keep expanding your relationship with God, and keep expecting the extraordinary in your daily life as you put these essential habits into practice. I can’t wait to see the lives that are transformed because of the pages of this book.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity, practicality, and reproducibility of Justin’s approach to discipleship. He speaks from the perspective of a fellow struggler, not an expert, and helps the ordinary person take steps toward the extraordinary life that God desires for everyone who chooses to follow Jesus.”
“Justin Kendrick breaks down and makes palatable a topic that, for a long time, has seemed to be a mystery in the body of Christ—DISCIPLESHIP. Bury Your Ordinary is a masterpiece and a comprehensive blueprint on discipleship. As you read this book, you will receive precept upon precept on the ‘whys’ and the ‘how-tos’ of discipleship. But beyond that, you will receive an impartation of the same passion and zeal for discipleship that is burning in Justin. I’ve had the privilege of knowing Justin for over twenty years. I have witnessed firsthand how effectively Justin and his team have discipled people and built one of the greatest churches in New England. This is not just any book. It’s an inside look into the life of a true disciple of Jesus—one who disciples multitudes!”
“In Bury Your Ordinary, Justin’s passion for and hands-on experience with discipleship converge into a practical guide for how discipleship can happen in the real world. This book won’t make you comfortable, and it won’t always be fun—but it will work! If you truly want to learn how someone can be discipled into a deeper relationship with Jesus, this book was written for you!”
“In these pages, you will find an accessible, engaging, paradigm-shifting road map to the spiritual life that you’ve always longed to experience but have often struggled to find. Justin invites us to move beyond spiritual checklists and guilt-ridden growth models to discover an extraordinary and abundant life in Christ.”
