Do you believe in Baptist theology?
Do you enjoy sermon illustrations?
Are you in middle school?
If you've answered YES, then fortunately for you you'll love this book!
Unfortunately for me I am none of these three things so I did not enjoy this book.
The moment he "dared" the reader to pray I knew I was in trouble 😵‍💫 cringe level 10,000. Many parts of this book felt borderline manipulative towards impressionable youngsters. The illustrations were so plentiful it felt impossible to count them all even though it's a small book. And lastly the theology is that of the Christian denomination Baptist.
Even though he is a Baptist, he stated that religion is "cold" and Christianity is instead "relational". Yes, our relationship with God IS relational, but Christianity is also a religion. Those who state otherwise are bordering on the edge of mixing new age with the Christian faith. That's something I simply cannot get behind.

This book clarifies faith in Jesus is its simplest form, as it states that in all the world, there are only two religions: “do” and “done.” This is a wonderful tool for explaining the gospel without clouding it with all the divisions that are man-made, through various religions and denominations.

This is a helpful little book that gives one a good understanding of the gospel. It is written for unbelievers but would also be helpful for anyone seeking to share the gospel well. I did think some of his language was a tad awkward (addressing the reader as "friend", but overall not bad.

Excellent explanation of the Gospel. I've been using the first edition of Done by Cary Schmidt for years. I appreciate the updated version. These books make great gifts for first-time visitors or friends.
