What people are saying…
“It is Pastor Norm Grant’s strong belief that God calls Christians to come and follow him in closer fellowship that often goes far outside the four walls of a church and the daily routines of life. Grant’s personal memoir, recounting his spiritual walk over the last number of years, is a poignant reminder that the summons to a deeper relationship with our Maker is not an easy one. It will tax our resources, test our sense of security and, above all else, challenge our sense of lifelong purpose. Grant’s argument is not only based on the touchstones of personal experiences but effectively draws from a wealth of biblical evidence describing the likes of Abraham and St. Paul as they responded to a higher calling. It is only as we allow God to take over in our lives and strengthen our faith that we begin to enjoy His miraculous power in light of eternity. Anyone who enjoys the writings of Francis Chan, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, or Thomas Kempis should feel comfortable with Grant’s ideas”
Ian Malcomson
“I burned through this book! Being called to your path in life is told and shared in a poignant fashion with crisp personal life experience that continued throughout. The author’s style helped bond me to him in a way that allowed me to experience the trials and tribulations, fears, and joys of jumping off into the deep end and fully finding our calling in life as given to us by God.”
D. Arthur Bryant
“Norm Grant’s book, You Want Me to…WHAT? is about learning to recognize and answer God’s specific call for you…Using humor and personal stories from his life-changing journey, Grant entertains and keeps you turning pages. Unlike some religious authors, Grant doesn’t preach, but instead gives inspiration to do things that may seem impossible.
With knowledge of the Bible, and while citing many scriptures, Grant writes in an easy-to-read manner that flows well and simplifies Bible passages that are normally hard to understand. His writing captivates and engulfs you in every word and line. Grant offers strong guidance on how to listen, understand and eventually fulfill God’s call.
You Want Me to…WHAT? encourages readers to live in the “right here…right now” moments of their lives…and after reading his book, you will want to go out and make a difference in your corner of the world. Whether you are a believer or a non-believer, this is a book that will grab your attention and make you wonder, “What is my calling?””
Todd Rutherford
“Norm Grant pulls from the stories of the bible, and weaves them flawlessly into his own life experiences. This books fleshes out the numerous times that we have doubted our own abilities, despite the fact that God has reassured us every fragile step of the way. It is not uncommon for us to be too distracted to hear the call of our heavenly father, and this book does wonders for bringing us back down to the reason why we’re here in the first place.”
Chris
“If you ever had a point in your life where you did not know what next direction you needed to take or felt as if you needed to find your purpose, then this is the book for you! Norm Grant’s real-life stories on how he found the road to true happiness through God’s divine purpose for us in life, will give you ALL the answers you will ever need to go from a feeling of emptiness to being fully complete.”
Amy
“For a reader like me, who reads mainly fiction, this was a welcome and inspiring change…and a challenge! Highly recommended – 5 stars.”
Lynn LaBranche – Ontario Church Library Association
“This is a real life call to action that everyone can relate to, Norm backs it up by walking the walk, and gives encouragement to those of us who need courage to answer when God calls.“
Jason McCoy - Juno Award Winner,
Country Music Association – Global Artist of the Year 2006,“This book is inspiring. It definitely motivates me into action. It is a biography with valuable life and spiritual lessons. I loved it.”
Al De Simon – Executive Pastor
“Norm is a risk-taker, yet he takes risks for one purpose only – to glorify God and further His kingdom. In “You Want Me To…What?”, Norm’s message of risk, change, and obedience is one that is sorely needed by Christ’s church today. Norm skilfully weaves personal stories with scriptural references and biblical interpretation to illustrate the need for God’s people to strive for obedience. Christ’s church is at stake! He challenges his readers to step out of the boat, to be courageous, to be risk-takers; however, this challenge is grounded in scripture and faith. The question is, will we – as a people and as a church – accept this challenge, right here – right now?”
Heather Malnick, Pastor
“I consider it an essential resource for anyone who desires to reach their full God-given potential”
Darlene Oakley – Writer’s Guild
“I love the way Norm’s brand of humor weaved scripture masterfully into his personal and professional anecdotes! Life changing! A must read!”
Andy Harvey, Entrepreneur
“I have been in Christian leadership for a couple of decades and have found this book both a timely read and a fresh wind (not breeze, that’s too comfortable) reminding me to listen and not get stuck, to be continually stepping out of my comfort zone – where undoubtedly, Jesus is cheering us on. Thanks Norm – for ‘not just sitting there!’”
Paul Simons, Church Army in Canada and National Director, Equipping Evangelists
“Norm Grant has captured the Alpha Experience and articulated it with such authenticity that it makes me want to run the course again beginning next week!
My eyes filled with tears as I read how the Spirit of God gently moved from this man’s spirit and stirred him to an authentic experience of faith in Christ and His Kingdom.“Rev. Eric B. Phinney BBA, M.Div.
