In this book , the author says (and correctly) that the first thing Christianity needs to do is to stop picking at each other's differences and to Advertise and employ what we all share...a faith in a loving God who has saved us through his son Jesus Christ. Then he goes on to say how he has met lots of Catholics who are Christians. Here's a news flash for you: We Catholics are the original Christian church.

It's even more ironic that he goes on to talk about how the media misrepresents or ignored positive stories about the Christian faith. Not too sure he believes his own preaching.

He goes on and on about these mega churches and how tens of thousands attend this church or that church every week. I think he misses the point, here. Church attendance is great, but serving God the rest of the week is the mission.

While Awakening encourages evangelism and unity the author's bigotry and pridefulness are a big turn off and completely deleted this book's stated intention for me.

Thank you Matt. This book is very nice and relevant. It's the best book I have read so far in 2016 and I think I am going to read it again.

Very inspiring

This book builds you up in our Lord and savior and has scripture to back teachings up. Thank you Matt Brown for making us focus on Christ.

Super encouraging book! So often we hear about what's wrong with the world but in his book Awakening, Matt Brown shares story after story about the amazing things God is doing all over the world today. I recommend it for anyone interested in learning about how God's hand is moving on planet earth.

Great read!

Encouraging word!

With all the negativity and discouragement in the world and in the church particularly, the author reminds us that God is at work even when we cannot see Him many times. Share what He has done and ask God for eyes to see and ears to hear, and above all, the grace and love to proclaim Him until He comes!
