Neither safe nor sorry
If you don't fear discomfort in your faith, this book reeks with the kind of spade-a-spade writing that works for you. You'll laugh at yourself, kick yourself, cajole yourself, and love God for all that He really is--which is a whole lot more than we typically read into Scripture. Just don't read it too fast. Let it slosh around inside you and coat every corner of your soul. After all, as Buchanan writes, Jesus "was never, not once, in a hurry."

Get out of your spritual rut!
I loved this book. Mr. Buchanan's writing style makes this book an easy read as well as very uplifting. I have read some other Christian books that read too much like a how-to instruction manual. This book, although, basicly a how-to, is different. Mr. Buchanan explains why we fall in a spritual rut. It will be almost like he is speaking directly about you! After he takes the time to explain our rut, he gives us sound advice to get back out of it.

We have a tendency to place God in an area where he is safe for us. If we let God have power over our lives we might get scared to find out His plan. I read this book and opened myself up to God's direction. I didn't keep Him in the closet, only to get Him out when I needed Him, anymore. I listened to God because of this book.

Glory to God. Listen to Him! If you need help, purchase this book!

A CHRISTIAN CLASSIC
Mark Buchanan is surely among the finest Christian writers of our day. His scriptural insights, lucid illustrations, and moving anecdotes ring true and speak profoundly to the modern Christian reader. Buchanan delves deeply into the realities of spiritual struggle and discouragement; of joy and discipline. I remember turning to a friend once and crying out, "How hard is this (Christianity) supposed to be?!" Buchanon answers that question, and others, with eloquence I have rarely seen matched. I'm on my second reading of the book and have bought twelve copies to give to friends. Of the two young pastors I have given copies to, both have passed additional copies along to others, and have raved about it. Read it!
