Outstanding and challenging book. The format is stellar, it can be read straight through or as individual chapters focusing on 1 of the 7 questions Carey asks in this book. This is a must read for senior pastors, leaders and their teams. If you want to challenge yourself to break out of the status quo and impact change read this book. It is real, honest, no fluff truth.

This book is a very intense Bible study suitable for individual and group work. The author challenges us to learn how we can use our weaknesses to rely on and be empowered via God's strength. Each chapter contained many quotes and scriptures to teach us how to dwell in God's strength and love. We learn how to be true Proverbs 31 women of dignity and strength. I found that it took several weeks to complete this highly recommended book.

This book has been a wonderful challenge in my faith. I would highly recommend it!! The authors do a wonderful job of telling his story in an engaging format but still giving good food for thought and ideas for the holy spirit to grow in me.

This book challenges the reader to interact with its message and discover the vital relevance of the Bible to their personal life and their community life. It is a must for anybody who means business for God and for group study as well. Relationship with God himself on a subjective level is the theme rather than objective and academic themes which leave the soul majoring on doctrinal correctness and not dealing with the real issues of life.

A must read for those of us that make life so much more difficult and complicated then it really needs to be. This book is easy to read and you should be able to put its concepts into action with practice. Most of us can't/don't see how easy our lives can be; however the author explains how it really can be your reality in terms you can relate to and understand. She also includes exercises you can use to further your life change. If you experience it to be difficult to read and understand; my advice is to read it again!

I couldn't put it down as I read through each chapter because I wanted to know more. I will keep this book in my arsenal of self-exploration/help materials to have readily available.

Holloway starts right out giving us a challenge: "What many people have clearly departed from is any sense that the moral life, lived intentionally and consciously, is consistent with blind obedience to any authority, including what is alleged to be divine authority." And things get better from there! This tightly argued book puts into words what many of us seem to struggle with in our discussions of good and evil, sin, and meaning in life.
Holloway has recently stepped down as Bishop of Edinburgh. He is "one of the most outspoken and best-loved figures in the modern church." And I had the privilege of hearing him speak recently at a seminar on the future of faith. It is perhaps because I heard him expound upon his views that I learned so much by going back to read his book. Yet I find the writing to be clear and convincing on its own. I was shocked and pleased to read this from the good Bishop's pen: "Paradoxically, it is scripture itself that calls us to overturn scripture; it is the witness of the living word of Jesus that challenges us to follow the logic that scripture was made for humanity and not humanity for scripture." These are courageous words indeed for a Bishop to write and preach. He deserves praise and support for this stand.
  Richard Holloway challenges us on many levels of our daily lives. He changes our concept of how to choose between competing moral values (often good values, not straight good versus straight evil). He makes us think about our institutions of marriage, church, and government as the recipient of our moral judgments and challenges us to live up to the responsibility with a Godless Morality. Excellent book.

Great challenge for the Church. The balance between the need to look inwardly and for the Kingdom changing opportunities that come from soul searching are incredible. Every Pastor and Church member should read this book! How the world would be a better place if we Christian were all part of externally focused Churches.

A group of friends and I embarked on this challenge, and each one of us has emerged as a different person. This book will indeed challenge your prayer life, your faith life, and your preconceptions about what God can do!

A compelling, engaging, challenging, and practical book. I commend it to husbands everywhere, as it is full of reminders of the dignity of our calling as men and husbands--as leaders in our homes and lovers of our wives. Full of biblical wisdom and practical steps toward change, I commend it highly.

Wow.  David Platt's insights are challenging and insightful.  He does an amazing job challenging followers of Jesus to live a life fully committed to the Master.  Don't read this to be entertained.  Read it to be edified.
