Reviews

[Cat Rayne · Rating 3 out of 5]

A companion to An Enemy Called Average, “Conquering an Enemy Called Average” continues author John Mason’s foray into nuggets of anecdotes, quotes and biblical directives.

It’s a positive and convicting sway. Read it in snippets to let the points sink in. Kept notes of the valuable points and inspiring quotes.

A lot of nuggets. In my opinion this is not a book to just plow through, but read little by little and maybe just a few chapters at a time.

Good little reminder book. Needs a lot of supplementing for implementation though
