I went back and forth with this book. At first, I considered the point of the author in the greater life that God has called us to live. This life is filled with a boldness to be led by the spirit and nothing else. However, I struggled with the author stating that if we don’t live like the Elijah’s or the Elisha’s of the Bible we are “wasting” our life. I get that he author is pushing for us to not be complacent or content, but I wonder when is it enough. When are we good enough? And if the answer is based on humans we will never achieve it. However, if it’s based on God’s standard then our life “complacent” as it is might be already greater. Overall, I appreciate the call to action and being dormant in our spiritual walk but I wonder how this message may be promoting a “not good enough unless” theology.

The Furticks are basically the Kardashians of Christianity. Please don't buy this, you'll just be contributing to the carbon footprint of a house that has seven bathrooms for five people. Now that's an offense against God's creation. Hopefully we don't all go extinct due to idiots like this.
