Every child born into this world has untold potential. But, tragically, so many people opt for the easy yet mundane life of mediocrity and thus never discover what they should and could become. This powerful allegory of a man known as The Strange One because he paints his life with color in a gray and drab world will inspire readers to look within their own lives for their God-given potential and to become artists of life. Readers will journey with The Strange One up Mount Possibility to slay the Dragon Mediocrity. They will be challenged to risk being different – to be all they can be. Readers will also discover that true greatness and meaning in life is not found in self-fulfillment, but in helping others to achieve their potential, even if it requires sacrifice. Each chapter of the allegory is preceded by a meditation on the chapter in which a biblical foundation is laid and the reader is challenged to explore and consider the truths of the allegory in light of their own life.
