Reviews

[Jonathan Sparks · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely inspiring, but reads more like a compilation of sermons than a cohesive book. This one would be good for an audiobook in the car, since the chapters are fairly independent of one another.

[Pierre Quinn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Batterson challenges readers to take the bold step and live out a faith that says "What If" instead of getting to the end of your life and saying "If only I had..." Batterson has a great way of blending personal narratives, with historical facts, and bible stories. Great read yet again.
