From his own experience of pursuing God s presence and encountering Him, Andy offers an invitation to step beyond just knowing about God, to really knowing Him by experience, and being used by Him to impact others. His thought-provoking insights from the Bible, along with personal stories of discovering God will inspire you to live a life of uncompromising worship in an increasingly secular world. In a unique and relatable format, Jesus Over Everything, has been written to correspond with one of planetboom s music releases, also by the same name. Each chapter, sharing its title with one of the tracks, is an explanation on how to live out the message behind the song. DISCOVER HOW TO Be victorious over problems through the power of praise Stand against the gods of this generation Take your faith to new levels Know God personally on a deeper level Make Jesus the Lord of your life Run to God with the issues you face, instead of running from Him
Never before have I read a book, based from the heart of an album, and from the heart of worship until "Jesus over Everything," but I would do so again in a heartbeat. Andy outlines the core truths of the gospel without shying away from the things that may distract young people from their faith and how worship helps combat this. Even as someone to which the book was not directed at, I found some very helpful truths that have already begun helping me in my own life. Highly recommend.
I didn’t find anything profound in the book, but it definitely challenged me in a few areas where I realized I was doing silly things. Things that I wasn’t even aware of. For example, I realized kept telling God how big my problems were... mind shift: I now tell my problems how big my God is.
As I said, nothing deeply profound, but do keep in mind that it is aimed at teens and so it needs to be simple and easy to grasp. Andy’s done a great job with that.
Read it with an open mind and I’m positive God will speak to you through it.
