Welcome to audacious faith. That is the title of the first chapter. The book I read was Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick. He says on the back of the book "This book is not a Snuggie. The words on these pages will not go down like Ambien. I'm not writing to calm or coddle you. With God's help, I intend to incite a riot in your mind. Trip your breakers and turn out the lights in your favorite hiding places of insecurity and fear. Then flip the switch back on so that God's truth can illuminate the divine destiny that may have been lying dormant inside you for years. In short, I'm out to activate your audacious faith. To inspire you to ask God for the impossible. And in the process, to reconnect you with your God-sized purpose and potential."

The best part is, by this time you've read the back, read the prologue, gone back to the front and read all of the praise, you're sucked in. And you've only read five pages and a cover.

Pastor Steven Furtick knows what he is talking about. He lives by his page 23 Sun Stand Still prayer everyday. His style of writing appeals to the masses, helps them understand. I am not much for reading non-fiction books, especially religious ones, but this book definitely got my attention and kept it there.

If given the opportunity to read this book, take the chance and run with it.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
