I can really relate to the first point he makes! The closer I draw to Jesus, the less I care about what other’s think about me. What a relief!

A ton of wisdom in those words. That kind of wisdom only comes from Above.

The position of the heart is always first. Being first is always last.

Lisa,
I’ve had the pleasure of hearing him speak….lots of good meat in these chapters. As I went through I was like yes, need to work on that, and that, and that…..I love “Connect before we correct”. We need to be invited into people’s lives and not go barging in with our righteousness – even if we are speaking Truth. Connecting is not about being “right”, it’s mostly about offering grace.
Blessings,
Bev xx

Fabulous quotes, Lisa! If he “walks his talk” as you say he does, I can see why you sit up and listen when this man speaks! Thank you for sharing! I’ll definitely be adding some of these to my quote library AND endeavoring to live out their example in my own life. Blessings on your week, friend!

Sarah Geringer reviewed this book a few months ago. I bought it for my grandson for Christmas and I have a copy in my “to be read” stack.

As I was reading your review, I hear many ideas of discipleship that correspond to ones I am learning through a leadership cohort. One of the things we are spending a lot of time on is the whole idea of truth and grace. You cannot have one without the other and this quote mirrors that… Truth without grace is mean. Grace without truth is meaningless.”

Thank you for sharing!

So many important points here, Lisa. This looks like a book I really need to read. Thanks for introducing it to me. I love this: “Evangelism is not telling others what they should do; it’s telling them what happened in you.” I think far too many people are confused about that. It can definitely give others an aversion to Christianity when we get that backwards.

I attended the She Speaks conference this past summer and Chris spoke and gave everyone a free copy of this book. Sadly, I have yet to read it, but your review gives me more inclination to do so, Lisa. I especially love and am intrigued by the “Learn how to connect before we correct” section. I’ll have to pull it out from the cobwebs! ha! Thanks for this review and I hope you are doing well in the New Year, my friend! Always great to stop by and visit your place.
