About the Book
Over the past sixty years, Richard Hodge has traveled to many corners of the world, experiencing moments that, at the time, seemed like nothing more than the ordinary unfolding of everyday life. Yet when he began sharing these stories with others, he realized that perhaps his life had been anything but ordinary.
In An Ordinary Life… well sort of, Hodge reflects on a lifetime of adventures, unexpected turns, and meaningful encounters that gradually revealed a deeper story beneath the surface. Through these experiences, he came to recognize how God had been present throughout his journey—even during the times when he failed to see it or struggled to believe.
Both reflective and engaging, this 238-page memoir invites readers to consider how the seemingly ordinary moments of life can reveal extraordinary meaning when viewed in hindsight.
