1. I met Jesus - I am a spiritualist that was raised Christian and while I never denounced Christ or anything I wasn’t really focusing on him in my practice. Shortly after starting this book he came to me and he would give me little messages as I read. This book is great for anyone who wants to feel closer to him.

1. All my knotted up life - I love this read. I started in the morning & spent the day in Beth’s life. I love the honesty, the unapologetic calling it like it is in the formal church of professional Christians & those, like Beth, courageous enough not to be one of them. God is going to use this book in beautiful ways to encourage real people with real life that our real God will always come for us.always. God is plenty of Covering for all the women He wants to use & our t shirts & God are plenty long enough to cover our tails.

1. anxiety fear - i’ve been through just about some of the absolute worst anxiety can throw at one person, and i will say. this book has been a huge help to me. God is so good. thank you jennie for this piece. it was a pleasure and equally beneficial to my mental health with lasting effects on how i look at the world. it’s a must read for anyone dealing with anxiety
2021-12-02
2. Amazing Read - I have read this book a few times and I get something new and insightful each time I read it. As a woman who has suffered from anxiety and fears practically my whole life, this book is a God send literally. It has helped me look at things differently and recognize how to stop patterns. I recommend this book to anyone who suffers from anxiety and to anyone in general.
2021-10-02
3. So good - This book helped me so much spiritually. I have grown so much through the journey of this book and it really did break chains for me. God knew I needed to read this book to get closer to Him and not let the world, enemy or sin run my life. / recommend to have a spiritual awakening and feeling the power of prayer and community. Thank you Lord for this.

4. BLESSED - If you NEED a revelation, battle anxiety, perfectionism, OCD AND/OR love human behavior stuff.. this is it. I did this with a group of friends and it was a powerfullllll breakthrough for us. Peoples lives have been changed because Jennie said yes to Gods calling on her life. It’s not a self help book, it makes you dependent on Jesus which is the only way. Blessed
2020-11-16
5. Astonishing - I finished this book in days and cried upon completion. While fighting a spiritual, mental, financial, and relationship battle this book redirected every negative thought that I had! I feel relieved, rejuvenated and determined to wake each day with positive thoughts and to redirect all negative thoughts. This book reminded me of the power of God and his mighty works!
2020-09-24
6. Finding Clarity & God - This book helped me find my faith as it has been lost in the world of anxiety and what-ifs. Jennie does an excellent job at relating what is happening in your mind with anxiety and scriptures that relate to trusting God. Her podcast is amazing, as well! Will read again because I enjoyed it that much!
2020-05-25
7. The book I didn’t know I needed to read! - This book answered so many questions about my own behavior and mental health I could never answer on my own. Dealing with anxiety, stress or depression can be overwhelming, and Jennie Allen knows exactly where I’m coming from. She backs up everything with scripture and personal experiences. Listening to this audiobook and how she speaks with such a soothing and gentle tone was like meditation for me. I highly recommend this book to anybody who needs to take the reigns of their mind and stop from spiraling out of control every second of every day.

1. Amazing Book - This book is very helpful.... This book will help you to have a healthy and better relationship with your wife and if you are not married, then it will prepare you for it.
Take the time to read it and take action, day by day, this book is not a novel or story, is a real life challenge and tips for an stronger marriage with the most important base... God
2015-08-28
2. Amazing Book - This is an amazing book that can act like a marriage hand book. Anytime my wife and I have a spat, she and I both grab our books and get back to what is most important. Loving God and each other and creating a healthy loving environment for us and our family. Have recommended this book to many, many friends.
2014-12-31
3. For YOUR betterment - One misconception that some people have is that you & your spouse need to do this together. That would be BEST, but this book is about you and improving how YOU relate with & love your spouse.
Many, many lessons learned when I took this journey about just how far away from who I thought I was to my wife & family.
Truly a God-send for me.
I hope it works for you as well.

1. & You Will Want to Answer - This is an Excellent Book.
I have it at the ready, on my office table; “Jesus Calling” is a book I open up (perhaps a half dozen times a month) when I’m looking for a ‘moment of Spiritual meaning, clarity or epiphany’. Perhaps during Prayer, on a Whim or other reason, I’ll open the book up to that current day’s date, hoping I’ll read a Spiritually helpful (& significant) message. So far, the book’s been that solid source of inspiration, particularly because Christ is the Hub (the Center) around which the entire book revolves.
2023-02-05
2. The Best Way to Start Your Day - I believe this is my th year, maybe more of reading Jesus Calling every morning.Each day I go through it and I I highlight in diiferent colors, all that I beleive is noteworthy, all references to His Peace, all refernces to His Presence, and everything that I feel is very important. The highlighting keeps me keenly aweare of the message. The recurring theme every day of Jesus Presence and His Peace give me exactly what I need to live closer to God. So simple, so important, so helpful.
2022-12-31
3. Stick with your Bible - Read Revelation :-
This book is adding to the Word of God, which has already been completed. This is a serious offense to add in an “extra part” when Jesus specifically says not to do so! Stick with reading the Bible, it’s much more helpful and should always be the ultimate authority in a Christian’s life. I try not to say this in a hateful way, but please don’t depend on devotionals, no matter how compelling or interesting it may be. Reading the Bible daily is much more beneficial.

4. THANK YOU SO MUCH! - My son came out at and he’s now. His dad and I didn’t take it very well and we were very hurt because we had different ideas of living than he did. I learned a lot in this book. I’ve recently given my life back to God and I wanted to know if I was doing the right things to make my son still feel loved even though I’m stronger in my faith than ever. I have been doing things right and I feel like I’m seeing seeds of faith in him. This book is awesome and I’m so glad it was written.
2020-08-05
5. Finding Peace - This book has saved my sanity and possibly life. I am caregiver for my spouse who is stage dementia (years).There is no peace to be found with the exception of God’s Peace. These devotions have let me be receptive and allow God to surround me. I just open to any page and % of time God speaks to exactly what I need on that day, in that minute and what I need to do to access His Guidance. Sarah has been inspired to write this book as a Gift to me and possibly others, maybe you. Stars are not sufficient. Tanks and Praise to God.
2020-03-14
6. Thank you Sarah - Jesus Calling is one of the most biblically sound and identifiable devotional to ever hit the shelves. It has changed my life and given me stability in my faith. I praise Sarah Young for sharing her journals in such an intimate fashion. God has surely worked his light and magic through this author.
2018-01-12
7. Jesus Calling - I truly enjoy bathing in the presence of the Lord's presence. I soak in the words of knowing the Lord speaks to me. It makes me feel HE is always near. hE is concerned with my every thought. Jesus cares. HE truly loves me. I am so happy Sarah has made me more aware of God's presence every moment.
2016-12-31
8. Jesus Calling - Knock knock Jesus Is Calling so wake up and let him tell u something. Awesome book. I have been a faithful reader now for about years now and it has really changed my life and now i give to other hurting people to guide them to our Lord and then he can take over. Be ready to enjoy your ride with plenty adventure. Thank u Sarah continue to let the Lord speak through u.

9. God's Word When You Need It - This is my second year reading Jesus Calling and Sarah Young has done an incredible job combining Scripture and Jesus' Words of Comfort in a way that has brought me so much inspiration, wisdom, guidance, and strength in my life. I would recommend this devotional to anyone seeking God's Word and Direction for this year in their life.
2016-05-31
10. Inspirational! - What a blessing! God never fails to use the Word to speak to a need. I went on s cruise with my friend from college (!!). She introduced me to Jesus is Calling as we shared devotionals each day. I bought it as do as I got home. I felt deprived without it. I have added this to my daily devotion. Again, what a blessing!

1. Compelling; difficult to put down… - My eyes are more open than before and comprehend more than ever, that we are all on this earth to server a purpose and not a mere mistake. The very nature of this book has humbled my heart and caused my soul to leap with joy at the thought of going back home to God. Each chapter, story and verse has given me pause, provoking deep thoughts and analysis of who I am in this world vs who God is calling me to be. Each story and verse has strengthened my commitment and longing to live on this earth, only to glorify The Lord and work to bring others to Him. I’ve found that the marvel and wonderment in each story, along with supporting verse, is all I want to talk about, think about and share with others. This book has helped me see the countless people, whom God made in His image, as a real living souls, not just flesh and blood; who deserve to know the freedom from darkness, that is freely given by the blood of Gods Son, Jesus, shed for our sins on the cross. I desire more than ever, to be used for Gods Will and instrument of His Love, forgiveness, compassion, hope and inspiration. I desire more than ever, for Jesus Light to shine within and work through me. I desire more than ever, for those who may not know His Awesome Power and Love, to come to know His Awesome Power and Love…! May ever single soul in this world, come to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because He, is so worth it.

2. Seek and you will find - When I first read this book a few years ago I was clueless as to how vital it was for me to read it but over the past few months it has become my go to for clues and conformation. Mr Burke was meant to write this I am sure of it and it is our duty to read it. The Heavenly Father is at work in these pages and if you really want to know or get a clue then PRAY and read this book. Thank you so much Mr Burke for following God’s will and becoming such a fine author

3. Loss of a child - I lost my beautiful year old daughter to suicide on // and I was devastated but more than that, I was terrified. What happened to her, is she trapped somewhere? All these and other agonizing questions plagued me.
This book gave me so much hope and it helped my heartache. I’ve never been religious so at first I had a lot of ups and downs but in the end I felt peace.
2020-05-17
4. Comforting and encouraging - Since my daughter went home to heaven last year, I’ve been scouring books on the subject. “Imagine Heaven” has been such a help in the grieving process- as I truly am building my faith in the realities of heaven with each turned page. Thank you, John Burke, for all the research you’ve compiled, and for keeping to the scriptures as well as peoples’ experiences. I’m grateful.

5. Great book at a special time in my life - Over the past several years my health has begun to fail and I have been diagnosed with auto immune diseases and a host of other ailments for which I am taking some powerful drugs to control. That being said, I realize more than ever that, while my health is currently fairly steady, it could take a bad turn at any time. I saw the author on Fox News Channel promoting the book and it intrigued me. I've been in church all my life and decided to download and read the book from iTunes. It has given me inspiration and a new and different perspective than what I previously had. The insights in this book and the encouraging theme have been special to me and I'm so glad I took the time to read it. While I took care of my salvation many years ago, after reading the book I feel even more excited to get to heaven one day and see the Lord and everything He has created for me! Great book. I highly encourage anyone to read.

6. Incredible read - so awesome - My dad (who died of cancer when I was ) had a NDE and I found it fascinating that what my dad described was almost verbatim to what others inside the book experience. As a Christian this book gives me so much hope, joy and excitement I can’t put it into words. It’s a fun, fascinating read and gripping - and I love too how Burke brings in people from all walks of life, all ages, nationalities, religions, etc., and shows that they all have common elements of their NDE experiences. Also love how it proves and ties into what the Bible says Heaven is like. All in all one of the most important and profund books I’ve read in my life as a Christian. Get it and devour it - it is water for your thirsty soul! :)
2016-06-17
7. A must read!!! - This book can help you get a better idea of what heaven is like. It has been a pleasure to read. I have purchased books since recently buying my first ipad, "The Case For Jesus" written by Brant Pitre & Robert Barron and "Imagine Heaven". Both have been outstanding. I think both of these books can be helpful to thoughs willing to let Christ into there heart.
2016-04-08
8. Incredible Book - I've had an interest in near death experiences for a long time. Every time I would start reading a book or an article on the subject I became frustrated because they were so filled with "New Age" or "Eastern Religious" junk that I would quit reading. This is the only book I've read that looks at so many experiences from all over the world and looks at them from a Biblical view. How refreshing it has been. I would highly recommend this book because it will not only excite your spirit for things to come but build your faith that Jesus truly did go to prepare a place for you .... And what a place it is!

1. Excellent book - This is the type of book we need to read and reread over and over again during the course of our lives because the battles that take place in our minds on a daily basis are real and sometimes we forget to use the ‘weapons’ we have been given to fight them. This book gives you these weapons.
2021-02-18
2. Must Buy and Read - This book is amazing! I would highly recommend to read, buy a physical paper copy, and keep it on a bookshelf. I will be reading this book again. I started reading this book when my mind was filled with so much negativity and fear causing me to not sleep at night and physical pain in my body when nothing was wrong with me when I went to the hospital. This book is powerful and I did not know that the things mentioned in this book I had experienced in the past. It has helped me so much and taught me to pray in a certain manner when Satan attacks my mind.

1. Informative - Boundary issues have been a huge issue for me in my life and I found this book to be a good read on the subject. While I'm not used to reading books that center Christian principles, I did find the biblical references interesting and the overall content on what boundaries are, how they work and how to develop them helpful. The hardest part for me is going to be figuring out how to find a support group, which the authors say is key to success.

2. Glad I am reading this - I always had boundary issues ,scaring away men,family and friends.In other aspects it helped me to see myself in a whole new light and helping me to choose wisely ,I’m still reading it and have the study guide .I notice when I don’t study I get upside down .Thank you guys for a Christian point of view and for those who may not believe God exists ,he does.

3. Great book but... - Great book! But if you purchased the hard copy of the work book you will find it extremely hard to follow the book and switch over the the workbook. Specially if you only do a few pages of the workbook a day. The pages they ask you to refer back to aren't correct if you downloaded the book. Page in paperback could be page on your iTunes download.
2017-05-08
4. Great book - It's really a great book. It helped me to understand differences between many things that I personally struggled with like forgiveness and reconciliation, boundaries in friendships, differences between loving and obligations and many other things. It would definitely help anyone who feels that people are taking advantage of me or people are abusing me etc... This book also helps us to grow in taking responsibility of God given roles to us in different aspects of life and also helps us from not having guilt or condemnation for those things that are not under our responsibility. Overall it's a great book, it personally helped me in many ways. Thanks to God and thanks to the authors also...

5. Amazing - For years I have debated (internally) how psychology and Faith can co-exist so extensively in a topic/conversation/application and not just scratch the surface. I have purchased the paperback of this awesome book. Much thanks to the authors for their continuous efforts!! I know many others whom have read this, and would agree! Life changing, if you apply.
2014-09-28
6. Boundaries - I wished I had known of this book in and had read it then! It was referred to in an article in the Catholic Digest this spring--thank you, Catholic Digest! I think it is basic living skills information for everyone who had a less than perfect childhood environment. Thank you for writing it in such an understandable way--with great relationship examples and good Scripture references.

1. A Message From God - Powerful, wonderful thought provoking book. May our Lord strengthen you and your family in this journey of healing, faith and waiting on God our Healer and our Heavenly Father.
A must read for all those thirsting, hungering and even for those struggling to seek HIS face and hear HIS voice.
Great book!!!

1. Excellent analysis - What a treasure for people to find. We do not need to be enslaved to the flesh, the Self, the ego. Instead, we can be freed from self. We can choose to live a life that is not bound to how high or low we view ourselves. Instead, we we fill ourselves with love for others, what is called self-forgetfulness. We don’t less of ourselves, we think of ourselves less.
2022-06-25
2. Quick and powerful - Please read this short read and powerful reflection, then take a look around and ask ourselves, why are we missing this great gift given to us by Christ. What would this world look like if we lived the verdict not the performance? Tim Keller is quickly becoming my favorite faith author!
2017-03-12
3. Our counterintuitive Lord. - The only philosophy or religion that isn't "works based" and this is how we know it is from God. In life performance leads to the verdict but in Christ the verdict inspires the performance. This counterintuitive model is unique in history. Once again Tim Keller nails it succinctly and eloquently. “Do you realize that it is only in the gospel of Jesus Christ that you get the verdict before the performance? The atheist might say that they get their self-image from being a good person. They are a good person and they hope that eventually they will get a verdict that confirms that they are a good person. Performance leads to the verdict. For the Buddhist too, performance leads to the verdict. If you are a Muslim, performance leads to the verdict. All this means that every day, you are in the courtroom, every day you are on trial. That is the problem. But Paul is saying that in Christianity, the verdict leads to performance” Excerpt From: Keller, Timothy. “The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness.”

4. Another Solid Resource From Keller - I downloaded this book onto my school-purchased iPhone for several reasons: . Tim Keller - I enjoyed reading The Prodigal God, watching The Gospel of Life, and listening to numerous sermon clips and interviews of his.
. The Subtitle - Sometimes I struggle finding joy in tasks that God has required me to do, but I want to rejoice always.
. Cost - The book was under a buck so I couldn't pass it up. The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness consists of four short chapters, and I was able to finish the book on a bus ride home from work. Chapter one is called The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, chapter two is entitled The Natural Condition Of The Human Ego, chapter three is The Transformed View Of Self, and the final chapter is How To Get That Transformed View Of Self. Chapter one opens up with two immensely important questions: . "What are the marks of a heart that has been radically changed by the grace of God?"
. "If we trust in Christ, what should our hearts be like?" In The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, Pastor Keller focuses on a section of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians: Cor. :-:. In this passage we are shown that the church in Corinth is divided due to pride and boasting. Like the Corinthians, we often look at ourselves too highly. This is something I have done all too frequently and something I continue to battle. Additionally, many people are on the other side of the spectrum and feel they suffer from a low self-esteem. We help people to combat this by telling them they are somebody; however, this is totally the wrong approach. We cannot build ourselves up by meeting our own standards or society's standards. This doesn't work. Apart from Christ, we will never be satisfied with ourselves. Our ego always desires more, and we get hurt in the process. We constantly desire to accomplish more in order to feel like we're somebody important. God expects us to deny ourselves and look to Him. God is to be our audience, not the world. We must seek to bring attention to our Awesome God and not to ourselves. The only way we can do this is by looking to the finished work of Christ on the cross. It is He who declares us innocent so we can live this life full of joy and be prepared for a life of pure joy in Heaven. If you are looking for a quick read that is biblically sound, I recommend Keller's book to you. Pastor Keller preaches to a few thousand intellectuals in Manhattan every Sunday yet his book can be understood by those new to the faith. The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness does not use complex theological terms, and deep thoughts and discussions should result from reading the book. Although I still struggle to find joy in some daily tasks, reading Keller's book is a great reminder of how I should be thinking. At the back of the book you will find a few thoughts and questions for reflection, end notes, and a list of Keller's books.

5. Christian Humility and the Freedom is gives - Amazing book. Do you have low self-esteem? Read this book. Prideful? Read this book. Too self absorb? Read this book. Always comparing yourself with others...well, you get the idea. This is a little book on true gospel humility as explained by the Apostle Paul. It does not matter what others think of me. It does not matter what I even think of me. How so? Read the book.
2012-12-22
6. Must read - I am someone who is in front of others frequently. I struggle with what others think about me all time. I find myself trying to gain others approval and get their words of affirmation to make myself feel better. This is a must read for anyone. It literally took me minutes and it changed my perspective on my pride, ego, and self-esteem. I'm so thankful that God is so good and he is the only one who can fill the God shaped hole in my heart. Please, please, please pick this book up and let God change your prospective!
2012-08-30
7. Brilliant! - How can you not love Tim Keller's books. The Freedom of Sel-Forgetfulness is a short book packed with life changing truths that both believer and someone kicking the tires of Christianity can be encouraged and challenged by. "Gospel-humility is not thinking more or less of myself,, it is thinking of myself less." Brilliant! Thanks again Dr. Keller!!
2012-07-27
8. This is a wonderful short study of pride, ego and beyond. - I love reading Dr. Keller's books and would really like to see more short works like this one. This study of pride and ego is discussed through the lens of Corinthians :-:. As with all his work, Dr. Keller manges to take dense theology and bring it forward to address modern challenges for the thoughtful Christian. This is a wonderful book previous readers of his works will enjoy, but it's also a great introduction for,those who have not read his work.
2012-05-18
9. Radically incredible - I am seminary educated, ordained and been a Christ following pastor for over a decade. I have never heard nor ought about this - just hours ago I was encouraging the modern self-esteem philosophy, as Keller calls it, totally missing the mark clearly set in this pamphlet's message. Like Prodigal God, every Christ follower who wants to think Biblically must read, meditate, discuss and seek to follow both Paul and Keller's words here. Prophetic. Radical. Incredible. I can only pray God develops this mind- and heart set in me and those I come in contact with.

1. A Must Read - I definitely have problems of getting stuck in my head and worrying constantly, I heard about this book on a podcast I listen to. I am so glad I gave it a shot. This book really helped me see things for a different perspective and realize it’s not something wrong with me, it’s the enemy trying to distance me and distance me from my God, and what’s worse is I’m letting him get away with it!! I love how he puts humor and his own experiences into it, and I love the assignments we are suppose to do at the end of every chapter. This book had me thinking hard and digging deep into my emotions and feelings also had me laughing at some points. I’m so glad I decided to read this one, now that I’m finished I’m looking to see what other books he’s written. But if your an over thinker or a worrier like me I definitely think you should give this book a try

2. Very helpful tools & Relatable! - Thank you Pastor for being transparent & opening your heart & personal examples in this book. It allows the reader to not feel alone in their journey with God as we do a lot of admin work to get the spiritual component to serve others. I love the exercises at the end of every chapter, it allows you to think deeper to apply what was taught. I recommend this book to anyone, especially church leaders who do so much to serve others , & can feel overwhelmed at times. This book points you back to God through examples that are relatable & applicable to anyone’s life. This is a book I will come back to again. Thank you so much Pastor Craig.
2021-09-28
3. Outstanding - This book really spoke to me and has helped me get over some difficult times in my mind. I Thank the Holy Spirit for using you Craig to write such an amazing book. I’m able to walk and live with a clearer mind. The many verses you used from God’s Word are very helpful and how you used them to create the healthy pathways has helped me. I was able to grasp His Word and use your book to apply that to my own life.
2021-05-15
4. Good mix of Bible and science - Good mix here of Biblical truths and scientific methodologies that anyone can use. Not too “religious,” even though this was written by a pastor. If you want a little less “religion,” take a listen to the leadership podcast by Pastor Craig. There’s something to be said when groundbreaking brain science falls inline with Scripture. God is good!

1. Beautiful - I’ve been listening to Pastor Greg’s sermons for several years. I’ve attended harvest riverside and the Orange County campus many times when visiting California. I’ve also had the privilege to go to a Harvest Crusade at angel stadium and then serve at the Harvest America here in Arizona. I’ve been blessed by Pastor Greg’s ministry so much. I’ve read a few books of his but they never connected with me as much as his preaching. I think it made a huge difference having Ellen Vaughn co-author this book with him. The book covers a lot of ground, some parts feel like a history book, other parts a biography and other parts feel like a book on spiritual growth and revival. I feel challenged after reading this to really examine where I’m at with my walk with Jesus. I’m inspired by the story to seek out my calling. It is definitely the best book I’ve read this year. Most of all, this book has inspired me to pray more than ever for a revival, a new Jesus movement. I’m years old and I really enjoyed all the background information and in as much as a book could, it helped me to see what the s really was like. I loved this book and I highly recommended it.

2. Jesus Revolution - The ’s and ’s were a time of social upheaval in America. War, racial tensions, and changing values were causing young people to turn on, tune in, and drop out. This is the story as seen by Greg Laurie of how God started a fire that blazed thought the hippie counter culture and caused them to embrace the gospel and discover a new way of living.
I discovered new things about the generation that set the then established concept of following God and what church should look and be like on it’s ear. I agree with the passages that said that spiritually, many young people are fed up with conventional church, political Christianity that’s mad at everyone, and the faith virus of affluenza, today’s version of the prosperity gospel. Some pastors today instead of teaching the gospel are using their positions to push their own political views on the flock. I found that my ongoing love for Christian music that speaks to the soul, had it’s beginnings during the revolution.
The word of God loving us so much that he sent his Son to die on the cross for us has not changed. It still has the power to redeem all because it’s the message that knows no boundaries. From the flower children to the current and future generations Gods word remains the same.
I recommend this book to all ages. It gives insight to a time in America that has many similarities to today’s problems and ongoing social issues affecting all of us. The Solution remains the same as Phil Wickham sings in his new song Revive Us Again.

1. Shoves Christianity down your throat - This book popped up in a Google search for self help books. I read a few reviews and thought it was a safe bet. I got a solid pages in and couldn’t get over the constant reference to the Bible. If you’re Christian maybe this will work for you but I found it leaning too much towards the Bible. Wish I could get my money back honestly,
2022-10-12
2. Too much based in Christianity - As someone who is not christian, it is difficult to read because every paragraph has some sort of excerpt from the Bible or some christian story. I just wanted to read how I can create better boundaries. Some christian stuff, ok I can work around that, but this was too much for me.

3. Boundaries - Freedom & Confidence - Cloud and Townsend teach practical tools that bring freedom personally and relationally. It has been one of the most impactful resources in my different relationships:
parents, spouse, kids, and employees. To know what is me and my responsibility and what is not has brought new freedom and confidence in my life.
2021-03-13
4. Good message, but too much Bible for me - The message is good. However, there’s too much Bible for me. I might have been mistaken when I chose to read it. Maybe, this book was written to make you feel better when you set boundaries from a Christian point of view. I thought it had a pure psychological basis, but Bible is all over the book. This is a book written by Christians and for Christians.
2020-07-05
5. Second Time Through! - Second time reading through... Just as amazing! I first read this book years ago, and I didn’t even realize how much it had positively affected my thinking. Looking back, I didn’t really take it to heart or put much attention into the book; even so, it changed my boundaries! Having read it now years later, I’m realizing how different I am because of this book. You get out what you put in, having a softened, repentant heart is what will allow the changes and growth to happen. My one buggaboo, is how short the chapter Boundaries and God is. I realize the whole book is based around our boundaries and our relationship with the Lord, but I wish they had dug in a liiiittle bit more.

1. Excellent - Excellent book that will help you strengthen your faith, take every thought captive, and ultimately keep your eyes on Jesus, no matter what you are facing. I have highlighted so many exceptional lines throughout the book, as the content was overflowing with golden nuggets. Honestly, this is such an important topic for all Christians. Too often, we allow the enemy to invite himself to our table, our lives, and our minds. It is time to take a stand. Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is there beside us. We need only to turn our focus to Him, and He will help us overcome this battle.

1. LOVE this book! - I tell EVERYONE about this book and how much it helped me and can still help me in our “working marriage” Marriage is WORK and we’ve been married for years, happy and in love, but there are times when I need a little bit of guidance on how to deal with some things. This is my Go To book and it has been a Blessing!

2. Great for nightly prayer for hubby - I was looking for a guide for my nightly prayers for my husband and had already read the full book Power of a Praying Wife. This was a great follow up to a great book and helped me pray for things I would have never thought of. It just takes a few seconds to read one prayer and scripture and it will really bless your prayer life. Highly recommended.

1. Powerful - This book is so powerful and will significantly improve all areas of your life. We struggle in many ways, yet we don’t realize that often times the enemy is the one who is attacking us. As children of God, we are the enemy’s prey. We have to be on guard and pray fervently. I highly recommend this book!
2021-12-30
2. Fervent - This book is such an inspiring call to action and life changing prayer. I picked this book up in the midst of one of the most difficult seasons of my life and I am thankful to report that instead of becoming defeated by the stress and heartache that had begun to weigh heavy on my shoulders, I learned to power through as a prayer warrior. Learning the act of writing specific prayers, including scripture, reading them out loud, then posting them in places I could revisit them gave me a new focus. This book has taught me to fight fervently in prayer. To ask boldly for the desires of my heart, to confess truthfully and at times painfully and to thank God from a heart bubbling over with gratitude for the ways I have seen him work, change and grow me over these last few weeks.
2019-05-15
3. A Great Blessing - This book has awakened my prayer life, and it has opened up to pray locally and globally for family, friends, and our world. Priscilla Shirer has a way of speaking directly to our hearts, and as she speaks, I hear God clearly. Be faithful in your pursuit of me, and pray without ceasing. Awesome God, and Amazing Read!
2017-07-18
4. Such A Fantastic Book.... - This book explains how to pray, strategically, specifically, and fervently. Absolutely loved it. It brought me to understand the power of prayer. Prayer works. After watching the movie I needed that something to show me step by step What To Do Next. For pursuing that prayer life & this book was exactly what I needed, and was looking for. I'm encouraging you to read it.. It'll change your perspective; it changed how I thought about prayer. It brought me to the attention of the strategies the devil uses to lead us away from the path God has for our lives. Prayer WORKS! A MUST READ xo

1. Help for my Journey - I experienced loss and traumatic events right before and during the ‘ pandemic. I am a Christian and what I LOVED about this book is how it unpacked some areas I believed I overcame,relatable emotions I experienced. I appreciate additional scriptures I can lean into when I hit a place that threatens to draw out old experiences. Great book I highly recommend it for anyone on a journey to live how God intended his people to live!

1. Swindled audiobook purchaser - The Purpose Driven Life is one of the most life changing books I have ever read right up there with The Art of War. Sadly I have recently discovered to my utter dismay, outrage and disappointment that my the audiobook copy I purchased in April was pulled from my Library.
Pastor Rick Warren, I do not understand how you can condone such an egregious violation of people’s rights. I considered this audiobook a precious masterpiece, a gem and gift and to be fair I gave it a perfect score but just as you said “an unopened gift is useless” and now that I can no longer have access to my book my gift is useless to me isn’t. What a crying shame!
2022-05-17
2. One of the greatest books - This book is a life changer. It has the wisdom that you need to point you in the right direction. The question that remains is “Are you and I going to benefit from this book and pursue our purpose, or just put it on a shelf and continue living life the way we always have?”
2022-04-12
3. Must Read - I read this book after my freshman year in college. In which I deleted all social media and stopped carriages about the large amount of “followers”. In fellowship with God it felt so good to let go and grow, not only did I finish the print version of this book, but I donated it to the local nursing home. It definitely provided a piece of the puzzle to reflect during my freshman year, so thankful that God placed this art from the author across my path.
2020-10-13
4. rd Time - I have read this book for the third time in my life and at different stages. It teaches me new things and reminds me off many other things I perhaps stopped doing. I encourage everyone I know to read this book with an open mind open heart and sit with it. Let God translate what it means for you and your life.

5. Vital Doctrines Are Missing - My wife and I were given this New York Times Bestseller several years ago, and I read it a couple of times. The book is designed to be read over a course of days, which I did in my first reading, but in my second reading, I completed it in a few days. The Purpose Driven Life answers life's most important question: What on earth am I here for? If you don't know the answer, reading Warren's book will provide you the answer in a way that is easy to understand. Even if you are a Christian, this book provides some wise counsel that can help you live life for the glory of God. Unfortunately, there are some major elements lacking in this book. Vital doctrines that are missing include man's sinfulness and our need for a Savior, the substitute sacrifice of the sinless Christ who bore our sin on the cross. For a serious critique of Rick Warren's Purpose Drive Life (from a reformed perspective), I highly recommend visiting Tim Challies' blog.

6. Thank you, Rick Warren, for helping to start a revival in my life! - From the beginning of reading, "The Purpose Driven Life," I have felt a glorious peace fill my spirit. It was as if my spirit was dry and withered and the words that Rick wrote poured God's life-giving water over me until I was quenched and alive once more. Thank you, Rick, for writing God's truths in ways that almost seemed brand-new to me, reminding me in fresh new ways of God's wisdom and grace for me. I am so grateful to have finally submerged myself into this life-changing book and am eager to adopt as many principles as I am able into my life. As well as continue on my journey of living my life to please God. Thank you for providing personal support and continued teachings for us to follow.

7. Changed my life - This book has given me a second chance at life. It has helped me focus on what's really important during this short time on Earth. It has made my life brighter, easier and more useful. I'm not going to question how it works, all I know that it works. Thank you God for giving Rick these words to share with people, such as myself, who were always looking to fill the void.
2015-01-09
8. Best book - Aside from the bible, this book is the best! It's not telling you how to live your life but how you should live, it helps to see your place in this world, you have to be willing to change or do different things you're not used to doing but it's all part of life and what we're supposed to do while living here

1. Use discernment - Definitely some questionable things included in the text, such as reclaiming your star. There is no reference in the Bible stating that believers have a star. Not sure where this interpretation comes from. Also, I felt uneasy reading some of the stories and the dialogue because it felt as if I was implanting those demonic thoughts into my mind. If you are seeking knowledge, it is best to read the word of God and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal all truth to you so that you’re not confused or learning things before God intends for it to be revealed to you. James :-, Ephesians , and Galatians : is all you need.
2023-03-20
2. Pray as you Read - This book was recommended by a great friend, I opened up to him & told him I felt stuck in my life all aspects, work, education, personal didn’t know what my purpose was. This book helped me to open up, learn about another culture and what certain things meant and applied it to my life. With that passages that the Reverend referred to I felt that I was praying as I read, this book lifted a weight off my shoulders and opened that little crevice to help me see the light to move forward. There were many different things that were happening in my life, car accidents, physical getting hurt, one after the other that I did not understand how I had come to be in this position if I do my best everyday to be a good person out in the world & at home, with this book I saw things from a different perspective, there was clarity and while my life isn’t perfect & never will be this has definitely helped me to be a better person than yesterday. This book is not for everyone but it sure helped me. Definitely something worth giving a chance.

1. Life Changing - I’m glad I took time to read this book! It has changed my mindset which has changed my life, I now come to the realization often, why I am how I am and how to properly think to fix these things. I swore this would just be another book read yet this one has meaning and touched places in my heart I didn’t know could be touched. I thank god I was obedient and read this book.

2. A must read - From a very young age, I’ve always suffered from some level of anxiety. I just didn’t know that feeling had a name. As I grew older, I realized many of the things that circled my mind were simply fake scenarios. These thoughts torment me and cause me into fight or flight mode. This book has thought me how to combat these thoughts. I believe the Lord directed me to this book intentionally. If you’re looking for a sign. READ THIS BOOK

3. Awesome book - This is an awesome book. I was going through a divorce and dealing with past hurts and I tell you that this book has given me a new outlook on life and how to control my mind my mind would wonder on all bad thoughts and my new relationship was struggling because of it. I had to get my mind in check and this book has helped me tremendously. Thank you Joyce Myers,

4. Truly inspirational - I have been struggling with my mind and this book was sent from heaven!! I was desperate for answers and when God told me to contact a sister in faith after not talking to her for a while she told me about this book and I purchased right away! And wow! Blew me away!! A lot of times I felt she was talking directly to me! Thank you God for placing this book in my hands!

5. Loved the book - This book made me understand why I feel or think the way I do. It helped me overcome tragedies from my past. This book explained everything and changed my life. I am now fully devoted to the Lord and am so thankful that I came across this book. I even recommend it to my mother that was struggling and she loved it because it guided her to the right direction.

1. C.S. LEWIS a brilliant man of his time - This book was not merely good but outstanding to read. There were a lot of subjects that use to puzzle me but Lewis breaks it down very well. It helped answer a lot my questions and worries of my Faith. I would highly recommend this book and take notes as well.
2022-12-03
2. Written Review - Mere Christianity Book Review Overall reading Mere Christianity makes you take a step back and think about your life and more precisely what it means to be a Christian. C.S. Lewis takes us through books, each with a Christian theme that intrigues the reader with philosophical views entertaining views from other religions and beliefs also. Having been an atheist converted to a Christian, C.S. Lewis does a very good job of giving examples of doubts we may have as people about the Bible, Jesus’s teachings, or what god is by answering them in his own unique way that applies to people. The way he explained what he meant resembled how Jesus taught in parables. After talking in considerably hard to understand vocabulary, he would come back with an explanation almost like a parable. He took the task of giving his explanation of how to live as a Christian and for me it was a very eye opening and intelligent book to read. The first subject C.S. Writes about addresses the human nature. He talks about a universal moral law that everyone essentially knows, but it their own decision whether to follow it or not. Doing good deeds or acting evil is not instinctive, but rather a choice we choose to make. C.S. Then goes on to explain the moral law and the many different beliefs or doubts of how and why it is apart of our human nature, eventually coming to a conclusion, his own belief, that there must be a god. After explaining the background of human nature and the roots of our actions, he talks about the idea of what God is. C.S. Goes into more detail about different religions and atheism, eventually telling his reasons why he chose to be a Christian. Once he explains why he chose to be a Christian, the next books talk about how to live like a Christian. Giving the principle values a Christian should live by and how to strengthen your relationship with God by living like Jesus, if you are a Christian or curious about the religion I would definitely recommend reading this book.

3. A Theological Classic For Both the Believer & Skeptic - Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in , Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis wrote more than books, several of which are classics of children's fantasy literature and Christian apologetics. You'll find C.S. Lewis on the lists of greatest th-century writers, and rarely will you not find Mere Christianity at or near the top of the most influential Christian book lists. I read the theological classic as part of a book study soon after moving to China back in . Mere Christianity is less than pages and is divided into four books: . Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe (five chapters focused on the law of human nature)
. What Christians Believe ( - five chapters that include rival conceptions of God)
. Christian Behaviour ( - twelve chapters covering topics such as marriage, forgiveness, hope, and faith)
. Beyond Personality: Or First Steps in the Doctrine of the Trinity ( - eleven chapters comprising of time, the cost of following Christ, and more) The books were originally given as a series of BBC radio broadcasts during World War II in which C.S. Lewis provides much-needed answers to complex questions for both believers and nonbelievers. If you have any interest in learning about the fundamentals of the Christian worldview, it is explained in a sensible and logical manner in Mere Christianity. Some, such as the late Chuck Colson, have stated the book was instrumental in helping them know Christ. If you have an interest in apologetics or you consider yourself to be an intelligent skeptic, I recommend checking out Lewis' Mere Christianity. It is a significant piece of work that has impacted many. For a more in-depth look at Mere Christianity, check out the outline provided by the C.S. Lewis Society of California.

4. Phenomenal - Lewis is more than just brilliant, he is clearly enlightened. And like the great evangelists of the Bible, he communicates in a way that speaks directly to your soul. This book is the second most important book ever written. it should be required reading for every human being . Every time I read it (i have read it multiple times) i feel like I am reading the questions and answers to life.. straight from God through the pen of a brilliantly enlightened man .
2012-05-29
5. Could be what your looking for - C.S. Lewis explores Christianity from a perspective of inquirey. Asking and answering some very Fundemental questions generally asked about God and Christianity. And exellent read ni matter which side you stand on. But be carefull, Lewis converted trying to disprove God.
2012-01-07
6. Mere Christianity - This book answered the many questions I had concerning Christianity. It has provided me with a renewed sense of how to live my life as a follower of Jesus Christ and it was made a profound change in me. Perfect resource for those just searching for life's many questions as Mr. Lewis provides many answers.

1. Changed my life. Period. - I hear about a lot of books people recommend because they are “good books” to read. I’ve read a lot of books based on recommendations that I’d enjoy a particular author/book. In the last two months, I’ve told people not to start reading this book unless they are seriously ready to hear about and make life changes in keeping with following Jesus in this broken world. This book has been, for me, far beyond a good book. It’s been a game-changing, life-altering dive into the depth of my soul, my habits, and my attitudes. Read it now. My only recommendation is to simply pray before you read it, “Lord, whatever truth is in here, let it take deep root it my soul as I seek to know and follow You. Amen.” Press on.
2022-05-24
2. I voice in the wilderness offering rest for your soul - At last a book that spoke to the true desire of my heart, to slow down, experience all each moment has to offer and live in Jesus’s offer of the easy yoke. I highly recommend giving this book a read and then trying the practices it recommends and see if you find rest for your soul.
2021-07-13
3. Excellent! Life changing - This is a great book. I have rushed through the years on this Earth. I pray that I can slow down and live in the moment; yielding my every thought, word, deed … to the Guidance of my Lord and Savior to the point that he controls every part of me as well as all that he has blessed me with.
2021-07-06
4. Ruthlessly Honest and Abundantly Wise - To preface, I am a year old male in graduate school who struggles with anxiety and attention issues (as so many of us do). This book allowed me to look into my actions and see Christ’s path for my attention. My issue isn’t that I have anxiety or attention issues, but rather it is my incessant need to keep going. If you have time, read this incredible book. If you don’t have time, you NEED to read this incredible book.
2020-10-01
5. Awakened my soul - I’m torn between wanting to lend this book to everyone I know, and wanting to keep it forever so I can read it again and again to let these life-altering and desperately needed words truly soak in to my being. I feel like I’ve been asleep, and my spirit knew what I needed, but this book allowed me to listen to what I was too busy to hear from the Holy Spirt. Reading John Mark’s words feels just like listening to one of his sermons—a gentle-yet-powerful conversation from a friend seeking Jesus and full of wisdom. I feel convicted and encouraged to begin putting these four practices to play in my life to be able to encounter God in the slow and quiet, and find myself there as well. Thank you, John Mark! Your book is a gift.

6. exactly what I needed. - I feel like the busiest man alive yet the least important After rushing to work in the AM, rushing to mandatory meetings after, rushing to my girlfriend to spend time with her and rushing home so I can get enough sleep to rush to work. This book has taught me a lot and is helping me as I learn to slow down. I have even recommended this book to those who don’t follow Jesus. People in general want to know how to live in the present this book helps. I’m thankful for John Mark Comer being vulnerable and honest. READ READ READ

1. Twelve ordinary men - Way too many inferences to offer detail/backdrop on several characters to embellish on the stories.... when little is known it’s hard to defend an author who embellishes from parallel tracks to add “character” when no biblical or historical evidence directly supports his assertions
2019-02-13
2. Buying this book again. - I bought and read this book in paperback and really enjoyed and learned from it. The problem I have is that I have since moved and all my books are in storage. I found this book to be informative, insightful and an enjoyable read . I had always told the people I spoke with about Christ that He didn't choose the most educated ,wealthy or influential men of His time. This book reiterates my points and by a much more learned person than myself.

1. Profound - I was hesitant to begin my study on deliverance. This book continually popped up in my research. I completed the book tonight and I have to say this has been a staple in my deliverance journey thus far. I have already used this book as a resource several times and I feel the need to keep it close for reference in the future.

1. JESUS AND ANGELS CAME TO ME FROM THIS - I’ve been studying deliverance and this book had a prayer against Jezebel and I haven’t been delivered of her yet so I decided to read the prayer. I was hesitant (probably the demon hindering me) but I eventually read that prayer and then angels came in and held my arms down while the Holy Spirit used my voice to call out the demon and all my trauma to the light. Jesus’s presence filled the room and that crazy demon began manifesting and she kept saying how much she hated a certain worship song that I kept singing (Your Presence is Heaven to Me) she was like “I can’t stand it when she sings ‘O Jesus’!” Then after more of me singing the song she hates and more crying and convulsions and Jesus’ presence there, she couldn’t handle it all and left. Wow. My mind feels like a room got cleared out. Refreshing. Now the Holy Spirit filled that empty room. Praise God. This book really works guys. What a way to CLEAN HOUSE!

2. Paul says the Holy Spirit will show you the deep things of God and the mysteries of the kingdom - This book has so much insight available right now to every believer. It is needed in this hour in every aspect of our lives. This book will definitely widen your horizon into a deeper level of spiritual realms. The detail and simplicity in this book is so easy to grasp. If any one has an ear to listen, hear what the Spirit is saying!

Once again to God be all the glory . Thank You . Servant of God, Profeta Dora

1. Become Who You’re Meant To Be - This message is very timely. There are far too many men we are losing to the entertainment culture. This is a call to action. A call to grow up. A call to find purpose and meaning in a practical way. Let God shape you and become who you were meant to be. Highly recommend the audiobook for this. Binged this book while working on my truck this weekend. Great work Brant! Now, time for Sherri to write, ‘The Women We Want’ book.

1. Buyer Beware! - I was anxious for this “new” book when I saw it for preorder and so very, very disappointed when it finally downloaded and I saw it is literally the exact material from Made to Crave. This is a regift in new packaging. Buyer beware, if you have read Made to Crave, this is the exact same book with a new title. Don’t waste your money like I did.
