[R.D. Henderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book started with some good concepts. In today's culture everyone wants a nice God who will let them do and live however they please, but that is not anywhere close to the true God of Scripture.

Kendall does a good job of explaining this concept in the first half of the book. However the last half took a major detour and was spent explaining why he believes in Calvinism and why you should, too.

I, personally, felt like that part of the book was unnecessary to the author's purpose.

Was a good book to read and get me thinking about free will/ sovereignty.

an amazing book but some of it went over my head...

Challenging yet accessible. Alot of down to earth yet biblical advice.

Lesson learned: We are outside our comfort zone, but still inside the God's perfect will.

Not quit because it sucked per se, but I started to diverge with the author's opinion, and it negated the stuff that he wrote. Perhaps I will pick it up again sometime in the future.

So this is what RT was really waiting for retirement to tell us! May be too much truth for some - we are all Pharisees

[Pete Husky · Rating 3 out of 5]

A worthwhile read although detours into the sovereignty of God and Pharasaism blunt the otherwise razor sharp message of the book.

Screwed my life up in a very good way. Turned many of my notions on their head
