My review:
I had the chance to review this book when it came out, but I passed it over for a fiction title. Maybe I needed it more now anyway, but after reading the author's second book and being very impressed with it, I decided I needed to read this one, and wow. Kyle really shows the difference in being a fan of Jesus and a follower of Jesus.
The book is convicting and challenging. It causes the reader to examine his relationship with Jesus to see if it really is a relationship, or if its something we are into when its convenient, something we do because we grew up in the church.
I definitely don't read enough non-fiction, but if there were more non-fiction books like this, I'd do it more. A book that stirs me, forces me to look at my spiritual life, a book that makes me want to do better, to truly follow Jesus and not be a fan. This is most likely the best non-fiction book I have read, and may be the book outside of the Bible that will have the greatest effect on my spiritual life. I am already intending to read it again, and feel all Christians should read it.
