How Good is Good Enough?

[image error]How Good is Good Enough? By Andy Stanley

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!

In this book Andy seeks to clarify what the Bible teaches about how to get to heaven. In doing so he contrasts the majority (if your good works outweigh your bad stuff you will go to heaven) view with the Biblical (you need forgiveness because you can never erase your bad stuff) view. In short, great stuff.

The Good:

Andy is funny, convicting, logical, and never condescending. This is a book that will clarify the gospel for the Bible follower and agnostic alike. The length (it takes just an hour or two to read through the 94 short pages) was perfect. The reference to Mother Teresa possibly skewing the cosmic curve so that it’s now harder to get into heaven was one of my favorite illustrations (p. 46). I always hated people who did that in Algebra class…

The Bad:

This is rare for me, but I found nothing not to like. I’ll be loaning this one out to both struggling Christians and my agnostic friends. It should be a good conversation starter without making someone defensive.

The Ugly:

Hmmm. The house of cards on the cover didn’t really resonate with me. Otherwise, this book is a must-read!

I received this book free from Multnomah Books for review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. DanielCooley.com
