Greater could be greater

I recently read Stephen Furtick's book, "Greater." I was intrigued by the title and the description on the back of the book. Furtick's hypothesis is that we're so paralyzed by the pressure of being the greatest that we settle for being so-so. Instead, we should tap into the strength of God to be greater than we are, however much of little. And I certainly had been feeling so-so recently. Furtick makes some good points, but nothing in the book is revolutionary. We all need to be reminded that God isn't searching for perfection. But the strides we could make if we did just a little more would change the world. I definitely appreciated the achievability of this message, but I doubt I'd pick it up again. Worth a read if you're feeling a desire to move the needle and need some courage to start.
