Amazing God inspired writing
A life lived for Christ has a testimony of God’s faithfulness and goodness. Love this book. A great motivator to experience the Joy of the Lord. Thank you Barry for sharing your life story and giving a much needed message for the church. I am encouraged myself and ready to go forth and do the same.
A must read for those who have had the first love of Christ and for those who have never had it. I want that joy in my life again and the favor of God. There is nothing like it in this world. Praying this helps ignite a movement in the church to share the Love of Christ to any ears that will hear….saved and unsaved. Thanks again Barry it was just what I needed to hear.

I listened to this on Audible. I started off highly skeptical and quite critical until I sensed the Holy Spirit chastising me for being critical of how Barry shares his faith when I don’t share mine hardly at all.
The focus of my skepticism and criticism turned out to be misplaced and I instead found motivation through the truth of the Scriptures shared throughout the book.
I would highly recommend reading/listening to this book with a mind and heart that is listening for how the Holy Spirit might be prompting and/or correcting or encouraging you.

Must read!
My husband and I were introduced to Barry's book at a small group gathering through our church. I have always felt the desire to tell others about God and bring everyone I know closer to Him but feared I would come across as "preachy" and push people away. Barry shares heartwarming stories and simple ways to naturally share your love of Jesus. His passion and the passion of our small group leaders to do the work we are called to do in this most important time in the world has been life changing!

I went into this book as a newer Christian and it has set an amazing framework for my faith. I now understand the urgency to share my faith with others as well as the joy that comes with it. He uses several verses each chapter to back his statements and (to my limited knowledge) has sound biblical doctrine. This is a great book for learning what our purpose is in life as children of God. It's also a fun read :)

Still finishing this book but it has been very inspiring. Barry points out that we need to get back to our first love, God! Putting Him first and focusing on fulfilling the Great Commission brings that joy spoken of in John 15:11

What an explanation of how easy it is to simply inject God into our everyday conversation. When we are focused on Him, our lives reflect it and our #1 goal is to share the gospel and take as many with us to heaven.

If we are believers we need to share with a hurting world. Barry gives great examples on how it can be as simple as breathing.
