About
They started out living the dream. They promised themselves and each other that every day would be an amazing day. They even stuck that phrase―"Amazing Days"―on their refrigerator, like Martin Luther pounding his conviction into a door and launching the next great era of the church. "Ready or not," they told the world, "here we come." They traveled the planet, doing missions and community development work in Latin America, China, Africa. Then they went back home―to the land of shopping malls and manicured lawns. And they wondered what had become of their amazing days. In This Ordinary Adventure Adam and Christine Jeske mine their experience, from riding motorcycles in Africa to dicing celery in Wisconsin, in search of a God who is always present and who is charging every moment with potential. Read along and you'll see your life―your ruts and routines, your frustrations and exhilarations―through different eyes, maybe for the first time. You'll discover the amazing things God is doing in the shadows of even the most ordinary day.

"This book is about seeing life through a different set of eyes and making choices based on a different set of values than the culture around us dictates. Whether your passport, too, is gathering dust on the shelf, or you've never left North America, Christine and Adam will grab your heart with their stories and challenge you to embrace the ordinary adventure God has for you."
Amy Rozko, Evangelical Missions Quarterly, April 2013
"Adam and Christine Jeske are completely serious that they can have an 'amazing day' regardless of what's thrown at them via background, culture, environment or relationships. The best part is that their invitation to this way of thinking extends to everyone! This Ordinary Adventure is strong stuff for those seeking to experience life in all of its fullness . . . no matter where they happen to be.
