We bought this book on CD to listen on the way to church and we really enjoyed it. All the kids listened to it and even the youngest asked at times, "is that real?" Meaning, is that a true story? So, it's good for all ages, but mostly geared toward teens.

I will be honest, I was hoping it would help with one specific child, make him more enthusiastic about 3 hours of church, but it didn't, he still looks like he may fall asleep or pesters the younger one's, but I know he too enjoyed the talk/book as he brought it up to us several times afterwards.

Gary and I really enjoyed the talk/book as well. We didn't realize we'd get so much out of it, as like I said, we got it for the kids, but there were several times we looked at each other and said, "yeah, we need to work on that..."

Great book on CD. It will keep you listening. Bytheway is hilarious and always has great stories to share.

I actually watched him do this talk, not read it, but it was still very inspiring and helpful. I love John Bytheway. He is insightful and funny at the same time.

This is designed to help youth (and/or adults) get the most of their Sundays.

This is my favorite John Bytheway so far. Of course, it's entertaining, but the insights gave me further light and testimony of the Sabbath Day.

Excellent! He has a great way of delivering this otherwise "boring" material.
