Church planter and pastor Neil Cole knows about saving lives: he is a former California beach lifeguard.  In Ordinary Hero, he takes the lessons learned from that experience and applies them to our mission of rescuing people from darkness and leading them into the kingdom of God.  Cole presents a passionate and moving plea to continue the work of rescue, along with a simple, proven plan for doing so.
