Deidra listens not quite like anyone else Ive ever met. She listens to heartsto wandering, wondering, wounded onesand then intimately to the heart of God. And because Deidra lets herself become all ear, she is a rare, wise soul, uniquely positioned to voice what our souls are most hungry for and usher us directly into a veritable fresh and satisfying feast, the glory of it running down the sides of our questions and fears.
from the foreword by Ann Voskamp, author of the New York Times bestsellers One Thousand Gifts and The Greatest Gift
Deidra is a leader among leaders. She tenderly but swiftly leads people to Jesus and to a better understanding of themselves.
Jennie Allen, founder and visionary of IF:Gathering; author of Restless and Anything
With her signature wisdom and wit, Deidra Riggs is the friend we need to tell us we dont have to try so hard. To help us see how every little thing we do matters. Every conversation. Every encounter. Every mundane and meaningful activity. Every mistake and regret. God will use every little thing in our lives, and in this book, to reveal his grace to us and through us. I cant wait to give it as a gift to family and friends!
Renee Swope , bestselling author of A Confident Heart
This is a book for those of us who wonder if God still changes the world through ordinary people. Its a book that reminds us that God is active and creatively at work in the commuter lane, in the cubicles, and at 2:00 a.m. in between sick kids and our own fearful souls. If youve ever wondered if Gods grand promises extend beyond the pages of Scripture and into our everyday lives, this is a book for you. Deidras words have given me fresh eyes to look for Gods faithful fulfillment of his promises in the nooks and crannies of my own very ordinary life, and to be listening for his deliberate Let there be... as he creates a universe of purpose around and through each one of us.
Lisa-Jo Baker, author of Surprised by Motherhood ; community manager for (in)courage
If youve ever quietly wondered, Is this all there is? then Deidra Riggs wants to invite you on an intimate adventure with Jesus. Her gentle, challenging words will open your eyes to the extraordinary right in the middle of your ordinary and guide you toward a deeper, wilder sense of purpose and joy.
Holley Gerth, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of You re Loved No Matter What
If youve ever thought that you arent one of the world changers, get ready to be proven wrong. With a mix of story and Scripture, Deidra invites us into the adventure of living every little moment of our lives with God.
Sarah Bessey, author of Jesus Feminist and Out of Sorts

Marjorie Knight told me when I wasnt quite yet nine.
She turned to me while we were hulling a heap of strawberries over her sink. Her white hair caught all this afternoon light. And her gravelly voice rolled over those words like smoothened stones:
Running hard after an extraordinary life turns out to be chasing a lie. The realest extraordinary is always found in the ordinary. That extra everyones looking for? Its found in ordinary.
She didnt say much after that, but I tasted her words in the strawberries she gave me, in the swallowing down of the rubies, the glory of them running out the side of the mouth.
Im half the age of Marjorie before I deeply understand how sunlight can warm anyones face when you take time to smile and give them an ear. That anyone can make a difference for all eternityif they believe that it all counts, that it all mattersthat it all, everything, can be the beginning of a widening, expansive miracle.
True, you wont read it as a headline in People magazine. But it is what the heroic people know: that glossy red carpets can lead to nowhere, and that the ordinary is the everyday container that holds the realest extraordinary .
That everyone single one of us gets eyes to look into, and people to touch, and light to give, and hands to reach out to, and igniting change to our own sacred corners of a waiting, broken worldand its precisely because we feel small that we can walk through the worlds broken cracks and get to the heart of people and make a difference.
The ordinary becomes the extraordinary when the eyes see the extra glory here. The ordinary becomes the extraordinary when our eyes see the extra glory of God right here where we are, moving and shaping and strengthening and rebuilding and redeeming and changing and resurrectingand when our feet step into what Gods doing right where we are.
Theres nothing in this world thats normaltheres only growing blind to the glory.
Its a ridiculously free world. Everyone gets to accept the invitation of extraordinary into their ordinary or not.
Deidra Riggs is one astonishing woman whose life bears witness to just this. Ive leaned across a table and listened to the winsome wisdom of this woman turn a key and unlock a door to more unlock something in me .
Deidra listens not quite like anyone else Ive ever met. She listens to heartsto wandering, wondering, wounded onesand then intimately to the heart of God. And because Deidra lets herself become all ear, she is a rare, wise soul, uniquely positioned to voice what our souls are most hungry for and usher us directly into a veritable fresh and satisfying feast, the glory of it running down the sides of our questions and fears.
