I read this really slowly, doing a chapter at a time every few days between the busyness of life, and then completing the reflective questions at the end of each Chapter. I don't usually read books this slow (especially considering its not that long) but I think it helped me take it in more so I'm glad I spaced it out. A great January book (or book for a new season of life e.g. reflecting on the past + making goals)
Was really easy to read and understand and lots of points made me smile - love Johns writing.
Made me think a lot about the need for vulnerability and bravery in growing in my relationship with God and Others. Will need to go back and reflect on it.

A bit of a kick of the pants... much better than I thought it would be and one I'll probably read again. Great book for a life group!

Thought guiding, but no new revelations or ah-ha moments. Great for morning ponderings.

Excellent, encouraging, motivating, hearing Jesus call and responding, overcoming fear with faith.

4.5 stars. I enjoyed this book. Ortberg kindly challenges readers to take Peter's example and step out of the boat. This message is especially powerful if you are considering making a change in life or stepping out of your comfort zone.
This book is more than just a boost in confidence, though, it's also a great reflection on the person of Jesus. By the end of this book you are invited to experience the Gospel in even deeper ways.

Ja, goed dat ik dit boek heb gelezen. Vooral het hoofdstuk over angst was herkenbaar en best confronterend. Oké, zijn humor was een beetje flauw af en toe, maarrr ik moest ook regelmatig lachen, dus het is 'em vergeven :). Goed voornemen: vaker uit die boot stappen.

I felt like this book repeated itself a lot. I could have read most of it in one or two chapters.

While the message a great, this book is about killing me...it's not very well written/organized, very redundant and not very "deep." I am going to start skimming....which means I will "finish it" today.
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha world was much better....
