Average Joe cover About Your Average Joe: Unplugged

Joseph writes for those tired of the canned answers for everyday believers desiring to live in faith amidst the joys and pains, the responsibilities and tragedies of life. Through 30 daily devotionals and a half-dozen humorous articles, he presents honest, often humorous encouragement for our Christian pilgrimage through this fallen world.

Read an Excerpt!

Trash Talk*
(Women Are Not Allowed To Read This)

OK, now that it’s just us guys, let’s get down to business. You are a newly married man. While this is a great thing in many regards, you’ve quickly learned that your bachelor ways are Downright Wrong.

Living with your new bride is not the same as rooming with Al and Pigpen. In fact, every rule of communication, time management, and cleanliness is currently undergoing a Drastic Overhaul. Tearing up a little? It’s OK. We’ll handle these one at a time. Today’s topic: garbage.

At some point after the honeymoon (usually Day #2), your wife addressed the Division of Household Responsibilities. One of yours is taking out the trash. Why are you responsible for the garbage? Because it’s in your genes, just like it’s in your wife’s genes to decorate the house with tiny books entitled Friendship Is Forever, Precious Puppies, and Fuzzy Things That Squeak. (Side Note: At some point, you will be tempted to place one of these books beneath the short leg of the kitchen table. But unless you enjoy indoor cold fronts, leave the books alone.)

Read These Endorsements!

“Schneller writes and talks like a guy who rolls up his sleeves, goes to work, faces challenges, feels pain, works through struggles, gets tired, reaches goals, and finds victory through faith and gut-level logic. His devotions are laced with humor, honest confessions, Biblical lessons, and modern applications. . . . he’s got a brand of street smart theology that is very appealing.”

–Dr. Dennis E. Hensley Author of Man to Man

“If you’re looking for an honest, funny, encouraging devotional that does more than tell you to try harder to be a good Christian, look no further than Your Average Joe Unplugged . With helpful thoughts and strategic Bible verses related to real-life topics such as career, marriage, and dealing with fear, you’ll find yourself encouraged even as you laugh and realize that you’re not alone in your struggles.”

–Matt Erickson, Walk Thru the Bible Ministries

“I highly recommend this book. It is filled with timeless truths of the Scriptures; transparent, from-the-heart stories; and delightful humor. Joe has an authentic writing style that mixes real-life situations with Bible truths. While reading Your Average Joe Unplugged , you will laugh out loud, be deeply touched, and be drawn into a closer relationship with Jesus.”

–Patty R. Wife, mother, church administrator
