Both of my father figures werealive when I started this project.
Both made it to heaven beforeits completion.
I dedicate this book to mymaternal grandfather,
M.D.Gibson , and my father, Roy Jarrett:
To my grandfather, who was the father he didnt haveto be; And to my father, who became the father he never was.

Thank you, Jesus!The only reason I have the capacity to understand extravagance is that Youinitiated love and pursued me with unrestrained excess.
Extravagant devotion ismodeled every day in my home by the way Haley and my threechildren love me. Your love provides the safe place for me to be whoGod has called me to be.
Thank you to the twocongregations that have given me the honor of being called Pastor.
First Assembly ofGod in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, you gave an unproven 25-year-old preacher a chance to pastor a 75-year-old churchwith rich tradition. Your love, patience, and willingness to follow me intocrazy leaps of faith will inspire me for the rest of my life.
NorthplaceChurch, thank you for being alaboratory for New Testament Christianity to be on display to a 21st centuryworld. Thank you for your Kingdom-mindedness, for it has liberated me to pursuethe unique call on my life. Apart from Jesus and my family, you are the love ofmy life.
To our staff, yourcompetence makes the dream possible, your extravagance brings honor to God, andyour friendship makes the journey worthwhile.
To Dr. GeorgeWood, thank you for your vision of creating a platform forSpirit-filled authors to impact the world.
To Pat Springle, thankyou for letting me stand on your shoulders in the writing process. This wouldnot have been possible without you.
To my editors whobecame so much more: David Shepherd and Greg Webster. Yourdedication to the message of this book manifested itself in your excellence inthe process. Your professionalism and wisdom made the project better, andknowing you has made me better.
To Steve and Susan Blount,you have mentored a first time author through this process with greatcare. Thank you for sharing your years of experience with me.
February 6th has alwaysbeen a special date for my family. Its my youngest sons birthday. This yearJosiah turned nine, and one of the greatest dreams of his young life came trueon that very day. He watched our familys favorite team, the Green Bay Packers,win Super Bowl XLVin person. Itll be tough to top that gift! But Im not thefather who spoiled my son by taking him to the Super Bowl as a birthday present.No, the dad who did that was Bryan Jarrett, a man who allowed himself to beused by our mutual Father in heaven to lavish an inexpressibly memorableexperience on a little boy He and I both love.
Our trip tothe Super Bowl started three weeks before the big event. On Monday morningafter the Packers had clinched their spot, I sent out a light-hearted Tweetabout my sons birthday falling on the day the Packers would play in the SuperBowl. Seeing an opportunity, Bryan called from his church in Dallas to say hewanted to buy my son and me tickets to the Super Bowl and give us anexpense-paid trip to the championship game. There was only one catchand inlight of the immensity of his offer, it was truly a very small one. PastorBryan wanted me to preach at his church on Super Bowl Sunday. It took me lessthan a nanosecond to decide that rearranging my schedule was worth that price.
Bryan s present was beyond extravagant. His churchs loveoffering paid every penny for our trip to Dallas and the game. As I look back,its no wonder. His church is accustomed to outrageous generosity because itsa church Bryan has introduced intimately to a God who will stop at nothing tolove His people. Theyve learned their extravagance from the OriginalExtravagant One.
The storyof how God progressively introduced Bryan to His extravagant love reads like anunbelievably great novel. You cant guess what God will do next. Bryan couldnt. And like me, Im sure youll relish seeing how the nature of Godsextravagance elevates human devotion to remarkable levels.
I sharesome experiences in common with Bryan. We attended the same seminary (a fewyears apart). Were both pastors, and we talk now and then about sermon ideasand leadership challenges. Over the last few years Ive come to respect Bryan as a gifted leader and humble man of God. His passion for the Lord is contagious, asis his willingness to go out on a limb for God. After reading this book, youllwant to go out on a limb, too! I know I do.
