Very Eye-opening & Confirming
925495
This book is very confirming and eye-opening for me. As a graphic designer who runs two businesses, I often wonder if what I'm doing is making any impact at all. But to know that even Jesus, before he died on the cross as our Messiah, spent most of his life as a carpenter, an entrepreneur, creating wooden furnitures that helped people with his earthly dad. That just gave me a renewed perspective of how God created us in His image  it is ingrained in us to create according to the talents He's given us! Not just that, He took risk and invested His whole heart on us. I see my businesses and calling in a new light and renewed fervor after reading this book. I highly recommend it, whether you're a creative person or not, whether you're an entrepreneur or not.

Really an eye opener !  Wonderful breakdown of history of religious facts down through the generations;  makes me appreciated how far we have come.  Sadden by church history & the sins we have committed in the name of God.
Very positive about what our call is and has always been to let others know the Gospel and to pay attention to the warning signs & history being unfolded before our eyes.

I really like this book. It's heart-wrenching & angering & I had to take a break from it every now & then but it was awesome to read how she triumphed & overcame! I loved reading about how she pushed through & preseved & how God reached down & saved her. How He blessed her time & time again & surrounded her w/an encouraging group of ppl that wouldn't let her give up! Her relationship with God grew & in Him she found freedom. It's difficult to read what she went through but her testimony is so very worth it!

I thought to buy this book because I actually follow Mr. Gaskins,Jr on Twitter and was seeing many RT's (Retweets) regarding this book. I finished reading this in one day and I must say it is very informing but in a good way. It has opened my eyes to valuable information that is needed to become a wife as well as stay a wife. Moving foward in life and relationships I will have a totally new outlook because I took the time out to read this book, which I might add is not in any way sugarcoated to make you feel better.

Thanks, Mr. Gaskins, Jr.!

This is a great book that is very eye-opening.  It is amazing how much of life we let go by without even noticing (or without being "aware").  I went through the 8 week program and the difference in my outlook was quite drastic.  Even my friends and family noticed.

This book is truly eye opening and life changing. I am only on page 43, but my goodness. This book isn't just for married women but for all who are considered to be strong willed. It has so much to offer. It helps you to gain perspective of why you are strong willed, where it originated, & how to correct and deal with it. I will probably add more to my review later but if you know someone that comes across as strong willed please I urge you to purchase this book immediately and get it to them. It brought me to tears, it has helped me in areas of hurt that I didn't even realize we're there. A definite must read.

Richard Stearn's book, "A Hole In Our Gospel" was a great book that provided a lot of facts & insight to what is going on in world missions. I was surprisingly impressed with how well his story was tied into the bigger story of the lack of focus and work being put into fixing some of our world's biggest problems. As I have started working at non-profit & begun to see some of the world's poorest areas, I was cut to the core at how much we as Americans lack in truly having a sense of urgency in meeting some of the LIFE needs of our neighbors around the world.

Even looking back at the earthquake that has rocked Haiti, you can already see many Christians & churches forgetting about what is still going on down there, specifically the pain, hunger, and devastating that is still wrapping it's hand around the people's throat.

If you are looking for a book that is filled with lots of current & accurate facts along with good scripture that supports this view of world missions then I highly recommend you taking a read through Stearn's book. This is one I have passed off to a co-worker, and she too agrees that it is an eye-opening book, even for the most educated on these matters.

This book is an eye-opener!  Wish like crazy that I had read it in my teens or early twenties because I would've missed making lots of mistakes (although those mistakes taught me many things that Dave Ramsey teaches in this book).  Now, my husband & I have a plan for our future and an understanding of investment products & investing goals that we had never learned!  I feel hopeful & empowered & ready for the self-discipline to get out of debt forever.

i learned SO MUCH from reading this book (there is SO MUCH VITAL INFORMATION seriously i need to re-read this!). First of all, I had no idea how WRONG i was about FOOD, EXCERCISE, ETC. The chapters I enjoyed & learned the most from (The Metabolism, Eat Your Way Out, MAXercise) have helped make a significant difference in my life...for real! I can't remember ever eating guilt-free or exercising for fun...this book has opened my eyes to a BETTER and HEALTHY way..its a a real-time, real-life approach.

This book is the most eye opening read I have read in years! Wowww!! So appreciative of Ty's work and the army of angels behind him shedding light and truth on cancer and not allowing big government and modern medicine fool and poison us with garbage. Soooo happy I decided to read and empower myself with all the information in book! Everyone must read!

Amazing book and so eye-opening!!!! I almost stopped reading at the beginning thinking I could not bear to read about the pain and suffering, but I'm so glad I persisted because it was such a testimony to the goodness of God and His providence!!!! I will not soon forget this book!

I go to Greg Boyd's church and have heard 7 years of sermons so I am familiar with Greg's theology. He is thorough, thoughtful and passionate about God-- so whether or not you agree with his theology this book is so full of fascinating information it is worth serious and prayful consideration. I found myself highlighting so much of the book that I knew a second and possibly third read through might be in order.
Like many people, I have struggled greatly with the issue of an all loving, good & perfect God & a world that has incredible evil & suffering. The idea that this all loving God was ultimately responsible for all pain and suffering in the world, supposedly for our own good, was a huge stumbling block in my faith. Greg's views on the problem of evil in the world and God's role in it made sense to me. It was a life changing discovery. Greg's view is controversial. Read the book for yourself and be prepared to  have your brain & your faith stretched!
Check out other books by Greg Boyd-- not for the faint of mind: God at War & Satan and the Problem of Evil. Letters from a Skeptic, God of the Possible and others!

This book was eye-opening for me. I had an inkling that thyroid issues were causing my symptoms, but had been tested by a doctor a few years ago for TSH only. Once those results came back "normal," I never pursued further testing. This book helped me understand the issue is very complex, more tests are needed, and that just because lab results are "normal" doesn't mean they are optimal.
