About the author

James MacDonald (D. Min. Phoenix Seminary) is married to his high school sweetheart, Kathy, and both are from Ontario, Canada. He is the father of three grown children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, and grandfather to four amazing grandsons. James’ ministry focuses on the unapologetic proclamation of God’s Word. In 1988, along with a small group of ministry partners, James and Kathy planted Harvest Bible Chapel which has grown to 13,000 people each weekend, meeting in six locations.

In 1997, a Bible-teaching broadcast ministry called Walk in the Word was established, now reaching more than three million people weekly. In 2002, a church planting ministry called Harvest Bible Fellowship was born and has established more than 70 churches across North America and around the world. James’ vision is that God will use him to help plant 1,000 churches in his lifetime.

James’ extensive ministry also includes a training center for pastors, a year-round camp, a biblical counseling center, a disaster recovery organization, and a Christian school—all used to reach more people with the life-changing message of the Gospel.

Now impacting millions of lives annually, God’s favor upon these ministries has been described by James as “abundantly baffling.” The MacDonalds’ view their ministry as proof that God still uses broken vessels to pour out His grace.

Loved this book & found the podcast sermons to most of it. The Discipline of Personal Prayer was my favorite chapter. Transparency with your church group & a study on this book would be ideal.

Do you sometimes feel like you are faking your nearness with the Lord because those around you seem to have a close one with Him? Maybe you are just looking for a book that highlights the Lord and how He relates to you in your times of need. If you are looking for a book about how to be real in your relationship to the Lord, then this book is for you. I gave this book 5/5 stars. I liked how the author shows that the Lord does not want the fakeness but wants the real us all the time. He made us and knows us and still wants us as we are. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a book about not being fake when it comes to our relationship with the Lord.

I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

I always enjoy James MacDonald studies, he is very transparent and I always feel the holy Spirit speaking through him. This study was a good refresh of be authentic and vulnerable for the love of Chrit! My CPCC small group was amazing (Michelle S, Gina B., Donnamarie B,. Pam K., Lori D., Judy G., Karen H., Karen M., Kimberly H.) This study seemed a bit less time consuming than some of her other ones because there are fewer fill-ins and questions to answer.

Do yourself a huge favor and pick another book. There are so many books to read but this one isn't of them. While there are a few gems in this book like, "It's not a how-to I'm seeking; it's a want to I find lacking!," the personal convictions, writing style, gruffness, and constant commercials for Harvest Church, make the bad outweigh the good.

Good material - not my favorite writing style. I've heard MacDonald speak on several occasions and have always enjoyed hearing him. Doesn't reinstall as well into the written form. Still some good insights though.

i would use this book as a tool for discipleship, especially for those who have been 'churched' and need a wake up call as to who and why we worhsip, serve and live.

I loved his exposition of the Scripture. The choice to focus on less discpiplines and to have a chapter on the seven habits of highly hypocritical people was very good.

It makes me delve into true worship more. There must be a deep commitment to connect more with God daily without question. The questioning and doubts are the true problems. There are no comfort zones.
