Part of my 2011 New Year's resolution is to surround myself with inspiring and interesting people, read 3 non-fiction books a month and of course, lose weight!
So, you can imagine my excitement when I received this book for review from Booksneeze. I have been introduced to Andy Stanley through Dave Ramsey. Dave talks about Mr. Stanley's teachings and books on his radio show, "The Dave Ramsey Show". He has also had him as a guest speaker, which is rare for Dave.
Andy Stanley starts out saying that "God's promise of blessing was not anchored by the behavior of the recipient, but by the grace of the One who had made the promise." Like my community group leader keeps telling us, "You already have it". You don't have to ask for it, you don't have to want it.... you already have it."
With grace, comes faith. Such a strong statement in such a uncertain world. Believe.
I give this book 5 stars and will be passing it on to one our our church's small group leaders to share with her middle schoolers. Great read.
