and it looks like a really good book, here are some excerpts;
"Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. And even if you understand, they don't expect you to care. And even if you care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last.
Well, we do."

"Everything God commands is hard. Repenting is hard. Forgiving is hard. Turning the other cheek is hard. Overcoming sin in our lives is hard. Honoring our parents is hard. Sharing the gospel is hard. Reading our Bibles is hard. We could go on.
Part of our hesitation to call things hard can be that we're afraid to come across as unspiritual. After all, if we're truly "on fire" for Jesus, shouldn't it be easy for us to read our Bibles every day, say no to sin, and share the gospel with others?
But when we think that way we're missing something huge that God wants to teach us about personal growth and His plan for our lives." http://www.boundless.org/2005/articles/a0001726.cfm
Has anyone on here read it? What did ya think?
