Long but some real gold in this book- particularly stories about guilt, shame, identity and grace.

I just finished “On My Worst Day” and can recommend it highly.
John Lynch is an engaging storyteller who has mined a few of the best and many of his worst days, to weave a narrative that is compelling, informative, and insightful.
But unlike a lot of memoirists, John doesn’t show us his best moments, the ones where he rises to the occasion and conquers all. He lays out the circumstances of his life from youth through current adulthood and then lets us see, in vivid detail, how he screwed up. And screwed up. And screwed up.
And how, even on his worst days, God was there for him.
John is willing to spell out the takeaways from his different episodes, so that even the most clueless among us can get benefit. And his writing of God’s and Jesus’s voice is spot on for the Lord I believe we serve. There’s even God Humor sprinkled throughout.
So...if you’re a fussy self-righteous Christian who is sure you have it together, and doesn’t mind telling others where they fall short…you probably won’t like this book.
But if you are a person, Christian or not, who knows that you have fallen short time and time again, and are looking for hope, this book, written and lived by a lovable screwup named John, will give you hope, direction, and a few good laughs

God's Grace at Ground Level
John's story is an open door into the depth of God's love & grace for each one of us, maybe in places we have been too scared to look where we have always believed we were on our own or God left the building at that point. He never did.
On My Worst Day is a journey of God's love breaking in and redeeming our worst days for his beauty and then seeing just how loved we are, how accepted we are, how new we are and letting this love that brings security in us be shared with others.

I like this book. I wasn't too big of a fan of the add ons in the end but that's what makes it different from the original. The author is really vulnerable and talks a lot about grace and models it and shows that it works. It really motivated me to live like that. The author has taught me how to be a future parent. I think there is something in there that could help someone.

even better the second time around!
I loved his first version and I love all the follow ups for this version. He’s real and transparent and most importantly he’s a loved man of God
