With a foreward by Tony Campolo and a back cover recommendation by Shane Claiborne, you know that Margot Starbuck has good credentials and you're pretty sure you're going to be convicted while reading it. She's funny and her wit comes through in the book. The book is written in a choose your own adventure type style, so that at the end of each chapter you can skip to the next chapter that best suits your needs.

I loved the writing style and practical content. Really made me think about all the resources I have to offer and how to best share them. Great read.
thought provoking with ideas to begin making small changes to lead a more Christ-like life!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!!! Great practical inspiration for engaging with a work that needs us!
Highly recommended! And that Susan character near the end sounds especially awesome... :)

Good book with fun format. I picture using this for a small group study.
amazing book....amazing. couldn't put it down~
Monday night Bible study selection!
Margot Starbuck writes a compelling (and funny) call to follow Jesus to the marginalized in our local and global society, those whom Jesus loves. It's a quick read with prompts for skipping to chapters most relevant to your current situation in life.
