Romans 12:1-2

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:1-2

FFH One Silent Night




This Christmas album has totally changed my outlook! I have long been a “nothing Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving” kind of person. After reviewing this album, I wanted to put up the tree, shop, and write Christmas cards! This is not just another Christmas album and you’ll definitely want to add it to your Christmas celebrations.

FFH, On Silent Night” is a wonderful mix of classics and original songs. You’ll recognize songs such as Winter Wonderland and O Little Town of Bethlehem and quickly fall in love with original ones such as The Birthday of a King and One Silent Night. My absolutely favorite song was “Glorious Impossible”. I have listened to it over and over and will throughout the year. It is a beautiful Christmas song and wonderful praise song at the same time.

I love how “homey” this album made me feel. It felt like FFH was sitting in my living room playing their music in front of the fireplace while we enjoyed hot tea and conversation around the Christmas tree. However, one of the best compliments of “One Silent Night” came from my 12 year old son. He walked into the office when I was listening to the album – he had no idea what I was doing – he just heard the music and exclaimed “We need to keep this!”

I’m looking forward to making “One Silent Night” part of our Christmas. Would you like to also? One reader of Our extra-Ordinary Life will get to enjoy FFH, One Silent Night with a free download of the whole album! Do the first one or all of these:

Revolution Worship...Live at Joy Church International and My First Giveaway


“Revolution Worship…Live At Joy Church International” is a praise and worship album that I recently had the privilege to review. From the first download, I was impressed at how celebratory the music was. The album was released mid-October and climbed eleven spots this week on the Billboard chart.

An online Christian book distributor says this about “Revolution”: “The live band and full choir seamlessly blend gospel, funk, rock, and soulful R&B into an exhilarating worship celebration.” I loved the music, but my favorite part was how all the songs pointed to Christ and not feelings. With songs like “Joy of the Lord”, “We Lift You Up” and “Praise Your Name”, from start to finish the album centers on authentically praising the One who gives meaning to the “Praise & Worship” category of music.

This is not typically the style of music I listen to, but I can honestly say, I enjoyed this album.

One reader of Our extra-Ordinary Life will get to enjoy their own copy of “Revolution Worship…Live At Joy Church International”. There are two ways to enter the giveaway:

1) Follow my blog (however you choose)and leave me a comment about it (Mandatory Entry).
