Reviews

[Janey McCoy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Easy read with some wise words, but there's one thing I don’t particularly agree with. The book makes it seem like we should do good things for our rewards in heaven, but that feels selfish. We should be doing good things to help other people go to heaven. By showing the ways we’ve changed, just by demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit, the lost people start wondering what we have that they could have.

Our priority shouldn’t be thinking about what we’re going to get in heaven as payment for all the great things we’ve done on earth. Instead, our focus should be on leading others to Jesus so they don’t have to suffer in hell.

Amazing book. I read it every year at least once a year. It puts a lot of things in perspective and it definitely will change your life once you read it.

I don't know... I wouldn't say the book is bad, necessarily, but I wouldn't call it good either.

Pretty simplistic, from the author of Jabez. Middle school reading level.
