I Am Second: Real Stories. Changing Lives. by Dave Sterrett, Doug Bender

4.0

I bought this book around Thanksgiving, hoping that "famous people" and the short essay concept would appeal to my teenage boys. It did not; nor did I read much of the book myself. It stayed on my coffee table, untouched, until a girl in our church youth group mentioned that she wanted to read it. I offered to loan it to her, but also decided I should read it myself, beforehand.

The book is excellent, in my opinion. Realistic testimonies with access to more (if interested) online. The book ends with an explanation of Jesus, scripture, and how to put God first in your life while making yourself second. I have been a Christian most of my life, and active in church for many, many years. Even so, the stories in this book convicted me, challenged me and encouraged me.
