Ronnie Floyd takes on the often neglected task of sounding the alarm and waking the sleeping church, reminding them of the high calling of their savior before he left this earth, the great commission. Some books are just deeply satisfying to read. This is not one of those books. In fact, this one stirs a hunger, a ravenous desire, a discontentment with the status quo, and a passion for the advancement of Christ's kingdom and the saving of souls for His glory that has long been missing in popular Christian music, culture and literature.
The author highlights the practical and convicting applications of this command in a challenging book to struggle through in that it holds up our lives to the standard of scripture. It pulled no punches as I faced the truth about myself, and then about the church. As it went on to sound the urgent alarm, it fanned a fire underneath me. It was chapter four that I found the most applicable to my own life, as I examined what the great commission looks like in the home. As a mother, who wants to train my children well and raise them up as disciples, this was powerful and equipping! This is really where this book gripped me. I've never given a book my wholehearted approval in a written review, but this one is excellent. Every Christian, new to the faith or veteran prayer warrior, should pick up this book.
*I recieved a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review, which was not required to be positive.*
