For millions this pursuit of happiness has captivated, ensnared, and, most disappointingly, it has alluded. Which begs the question, what is the missing link? Fully Alive explores the idea that God is glorified when man is "fully and eternally alive," illustrated by best-selling author and motivational speaker Ken Davis's most honest and intimate stories.
Ken invites us to walk with him on a journey, along a road of heartache and adventure to a place he calls "the land of the living," and discover what may be missing in our lives.
A poignant and entertaining storyteller, Davis points out the practical steps necessary to live this way – everything from lightening up to taking a quality of life assessment, to overcoming trials – while also revealing the power of Christ's resurrection available for each of us.
Get a taste of the beautiful urgency of today and begin moving toward a change in your life that draws from the joy and power that can be found only in Christ.
My review:
I can't remember if I have ever read anything by Ken Davis before, but I have watched him on DVD and YouTube and find him funny, so I was happy to see a book by him come up for review.
I have recently made some changes in my life: weight loss, attitude, etc, and this book was just what I needed to read. Davis talks a lot about his realization that he needed to make some changes in his life such as eating habits, exercise, weight loss, and other areas including spiritual. He had a lot of great and encouraging things to say, and communicates his ideas very well. The book is both serious and humorous. I'd be wiping my eyes at some emotional or sad thing he said, then turn the page only to burst out laughing at something he said.
This isn't one of those "feel-good" books. Davis is honest about his struggles, his failures, and his victories. This is a great book for someone who knows they need some changes, but haven't taken the steps yet, or for people who are working on change. This is a book that can help and even change your life if you let it.
