The Author
Meet MD Crackower.
Dear friend,
I am an academic, author, storyteller, and French American based in Louisiana. I am passionate about the intersection of academic research and the Bible. I hope to engage each person to do something for God, starting where they are, growing in experience and courage, and discovering the life-changing message of the Gospel.
I believe that although we might not all be called to stand on a stage or under the spotlights, we are all called to serve one way or another.
The first step is always the hardest. So saddle up with courage and bring some enthusiasm. Let’s see where your first step will lead you!

God’s army is not made up only of generals. In (Extra)Ordinary, you’ll meet 35 ordinary men and women — Hannah, Luke, Barzillai, Obed-Edom, Joanna — whose courage and obedience changed the course of history.
Inside the book
Ordinary lives leave an extraordinary legacy.
Many have heard of the great generals of God in the Bible — Moses, David, Elijah — who led armies to victory, freed the people, and called fire from above. But God’s army is not made up only of generals. It is also made up of men and women who lived ordinary lives in an ordinary world: they had jobs; they were married; they raised children. Yet, through courage and obedience, they turned their world upside down.
These 35 men and women are living proof that not everyone is called to perform on a stage — everyone is called to serve at their level, where they are, in their time. They left a legacy that blessed generations after them.
