What an encouragement! This book reminds me so much of Bob Goff’s writings. It is focused on our identity as God’s beloved. Learning to believe that we are always and totally loved can sometimes take a lifetime, but living into that truth changes everything. Mike addresses many of the obstacles that keep us from a life of fullness. Great read!

This is an excellent book. One of the best books I have read in a very long time. I’m just left confused as to why more people have not read this book. It should be a best seller. It is packed full of great information and advice. Definitely a keeper.

Really good read. Mike has a heart to help people. Shared some very personal and vulnerable stories. Loved the last three chapters and the insights from the portion on the “gifts of” turning into the “power of”. He talks about addiction, loss, depression, emptiness, loneliness, and prodigal parties. It’s like reading a book from your cool older brother mixed with Sean Spencer from Psych and your favorite Pastor. Very encouraging.

I think that the author took such a casual approach to explaining different concepts of grace that they lost some of the difficult truths that come along with giving one’s life to Christ. Sometimes even going against the message they were trying to convey…😬

Everything will be fine, but one must be open to Christ changing our hearts. We are free indeed through Christ, and this freedom gives us the ability to choose right and change our ways! It’s amazing that we don’t have to stay the same.

(I might have skimmed chapters 7-12 which is like 1/2 the book🙃 so please take this opinion with a rock of salt)

Whatever you do - read this book. Bold, but solid theology throughout. We are so blinded in our current culture!! How insightful! I plan to lead a Bible study group through this book!
