Extraordinary

The parable of the talents, in which a master gives his servants money to invest, expecting them to do so to the fullest of their ability, is the genesis of Bevere's book. The minister reads his own work with an evangelist's zeal, energetic and heartfelt, as he urges Christians to pursue an "extraordinary life" and reach their full potential. The message here, brought out through Bible passages and stories from Bevere's own life, seems to be that avoiding Satan's obstacles is in itself extraordinary. Bevere raises interesting points, but listeners looking for moral guidance while dealing with today's rough times will find this to be only a starting or reference point. J.A.S.
