Reviews

Mr. Campolo has been called a lot of things during his lifetime. For me, there are several words-but Inspiring and Amazing are two of them.

His sense of humor can engage even the most serious person. His heartfelt stories can bring them to tears. His hope for the future and christianity-inspiring.

This book came with an audio cd that mirrors the book and was about 45 minutes long. It didn't feel like it took much more than that to read because his writing style is very engaging.

This book will make you laugh, cry and think.
Great combo in my opinion.

Dr Campolo used to come to our church, Pomona First Baptist, and speak every year or two. I always enjoyed him and the lessons. He used to tell everyone they were brave if they sat in the front row, because when he really would get going, he would sometimes spit accidently! Good memories from a man who lived what he preached.

[Rick Echevarria]

A great read over the Easter holiday

A light read with tremendous depth … great lessons about love and service that will shake your core … specially as it reinforces the true meaning of Christianity.

[William Slattery]

He has risen

A very exceptional book. A story that you just can't stop reading or put down! Tony Campolo gives a vivid account of WHY we should believe in our Risen Christ.

[Hien Nguyen, Minh]

This book is packed with exceptional humor and insights on Jesus and the human needs. I actually bought the book, but just for reference only, because I listened to the audio of the book several times when I need encouragement and courage to move on.

Yes, lots of witty humor to make the points but the insights are deep intellectual stuffs.

I've had this book for ages and finally read it and it's better than the title. I could see it particularly being good for Christian high school youth. I appreciated that in a book of kind of general discipleship that there's a chapter about social justice and the poor.

[Ashton Reynolds]

A really good and inspiring book, with a very pragmatic look at how Jesus works in our lives. Really good for college students, its better than most of the rediculous stuff christian writers write for college students.

[Gary Boschee]

Campolo's style is infectious, and I love his points - such a compelling book. I do have mixed feelings on the whole Christus victor point - Lately, I have been finding Forde's thoughts on being a theologian of the cross to be more helpful - but God speaks in many and various ways.
