I really liked the openness of the author as he shared examples from his life. We are always saying ,"God I'm ready. Use me .Pick me. " What happens when you get the call? Are you ready to jump in with both feet? Many of us have had words spoken over us that we are called to do this or that . We get discouraged when it doesn't manifest. Did we miss our calling? What happens is sometimes we may be called to a ministry but if our heart isn't right He will show you what needs to change. It's all in God's timing not ours.
I had to laugh when the author talked about his mother after she got saved. I remember when I was younger visiting a very small church my dad was asked to preach at. During the service a lady jumped up and started jumping around and speaking weird . My eyes grew so big as I stared at her. What in the world was that lady doing? I later learned that she was filled with the Holy Spitit and wasn't ashamed to express how she was feeling. I learned from that day on to never be afraid to express your joy for God.
The author does a good job of explaining how God can use you anywhere . He does talk about some subjects that for me at one time in my life were uncomfortable. I had always been a bit uncertain about "Laying on of Hands." I attended a Charismatic church as I got older and there was a particular speaker that would often come and speak. He loved to lay hands on people and watch the Holy Spirit take over. The first time I saw it, I was ready to run out the door. What in the world was going on and why were people falling to the ground ? I loved how the author gracefully explained it by saying, " The laying on of hands is a foundational thing. It's understood that we're supposed to use it as a tool. It was important for the early church and it is just as important for us today."
The book is well written and I loved his compassion for others. He encourages us to use the gifts God has given us and go out in the world . Some of us get so comfy sitting in the service week after week, then going home to wait till next Sunday to meet with "Jesus." God wants us outside the four walls reaching out to the lost, sick and hurting . The biggest thing that holds Christians back is getting out of their comfort zone. Take that first step, leap with your faith and God will be there to guide you. Thank you so much for a book that reminds us to be His hands and feet.

I needed this book. It has awoken something in me that has fallen asleep. This book was a deep reminder of God’s great love and power that live in me and how I can change the atmosphere around me through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Will shares some crazy stories but I have to believe they are true. He shares things that I have not seen yet but I know I can see.
I really appreciated how Will shared about even low times in his life when he didn’t feel like he was doing anything for God and how he eventually surrendered himself and God did some amazing things.
If you are looking for a wake-up call in your spirit I think this book will do it.

This was a great book. I love the writer’s style of writing and his openness as he shared his story. There was no form of pretense; just an honest sharing as though among friends. I would recommend this book to others as it’s inspiring and encouraging, with a little bit of challenge as well.

Everyone is called to something, somewhere.
GodRunner is a non-fiction book written by missionary Will Hart. Will tells his story of coming to the Lord and about his missionary work. Will was the son of hippies. His mother became saved from listening to the radio. She was filled by the Holy Spirit and the family thought she had gone crazy. Even though his father was at times scared of the situation, he decided the family would follow her. When Will was a senior in high school, he became saved and decided to be a missionary instead of going to college. This is a book of places he’s been, people he has saved, as well as his family life.
Some of the points he makes in this book are to go out and do what the Spirt wants you to do. You do not have to leave the country, you can be used by God right where you are, in what ever you are doing. We are to take every opportunity God gives us to work with others. God created us in love and he will never stop loving us. God is seeking us and pursuing us. He seeks us when we are least expecting it and sometimes that makes us uncomfortable. But sometimes God has to take us to our lowest point to restore us and redirect us.
While this book is not what I expected, it is very well written and has good points in it. I especially liked the parts in the book where the author talks about his young life and his mother’s personality. I typically do not read auto-biographies, and at times it felt that this is what the book is. I did however, think he did a good job of describing what a missionary family’s life it like. While not going into detail, he did show the sacrifices the entire family had to make. I am giving this book a 4, only because of the auto-biography feel.
