slow-paced

This was a decent book to run to in the middle of the night during my One Punch Man Workout I completed in October 2019.

I didn't take much notes, though. If you're familiar with the Bible and Jesus stuff then this should be common knowledge.

I can see the value of this book. Yet it felt like I was having a whole ideology and theology shoved down my throat. Not a plesent experience.

Very good book. Filled with scripture and outlines clear steps to help focus your life on God's will. Is this a desert island book for me like it was for Angela? No. But still a worthwhile read.

Lots of fluff and cheerleading. I was bored to tears. Bummer, because this book came highly recommended.

This book was a gift that changed my life. I had actually owned this book before but that was not that time intended for me. If you’re looking for meaning, direction and full of anxiety or worry, I do believe there are answers in this book. Read one day at a time as instructed. Give in and let go. Let God. I’m so grateful for this book at this time in my life.

In essence, a guidebook for Christianity. Isn't that what the Bible is for, you may ask? Why, yes. Consider this one of the many possibly-helpful companions to the primary text. Basic instructions pulled from the...well...basic instructions. It may do it for you, it may not.

For many, this book may be a good reminder. Insightful and potentially perspective-altering for those who consider themselves to be Christians, but aren't satisfied with merely having secured their 'fire insurance'.

The re-read value is exceptional. (Just as with many books, what you derive from it may change depending on the phase of life you're in.) I've heard it categorized as a Christian self-help book, but in actuality it is a God-help book. It suggests from the get-go that you spare yourself the frustration of looking within yourself for all of your answers. Instead, you're challenged to consider how differently you may prioritize your life if you were to focus on what holds eternal value, rather than temporary gratification. And most importantly it stresses that your personal relationship with God be dynamic and continually developing, while offering you practical tools for accomplishing this.

Great insights. It's probably impossible to remember all the deep stuff in this book after only one reading (reading it more than once wouldn't be a bad idea), but it does leave a great impact on the reader after just a few chapters. The concepts I picked up when I read this book will stay with me forever.
