I thought that this book was pretty good. I read it at a time in my life where I was needing inspiration, and it gave me that. It also led me into going out and buying the other D.C. Talk books in the "Jesus Freak" series (Jesus Freaks: DC Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs - Stories of Those Who Stood for Jesus, the Ultimate Jesus Freaks | Jesus Freaks: Stories of Revolutionaries Who Changed Their World: Fearing God, Not Man | Promises for a Jesus Freak) and I found those to be really enjoyable as well.

This is probably best suited to a teen/young adult audience, though an older person would definitely enjoy it.

Real stories of people that live for Jesus. How far are you willing to go in giving your life to Jesus?

Another great work from dc Talk! This book has many great ways to live out your faith; all young Christians should read it!

Me confrontó cada día con todo lo que me falta hacer y con todo el egoísmo que cargo. Para releerlo varias veces. Una verdadera guía. Lo voy a leer varias veces más adelante :)

This is a great condensed version of the larger version. There were a lot of great stories and illustrations that I've used with my youth group. I found a copy of the original edition and I'm going to try reading it.

This book had a lot of good stories about the hardship and triumphing over hardships of other christians, how God can use even the most difficult and destitute of situations and turn it around for his glory and good. But on the same token the further I read I realized that the discussion part after the story on how to live you life as a christian was really geared towards either like high school/or college students. Not really someone who has been married for almost 10 years w/two kids! But I liked the stories.

Words that every believer must hear and know! Especially at a time of real battle like the present.

This is a book in the Jesus Freaks series, but they don't have to be read in any sort of order. This one is full of a few of the Jesus Freak stories from the first book, as well as some scripture and practical advice on how to live like a Jesus Freak. I didn't really learn anything new, but it was a nice refresher.

Great encouragement for living in and living out God's love. And the stories about other Jesus Freaks (whether a retelling of a Bible hero or post-Biblical disciples) are always my favorite!

Very good Devotional !

I'm not really sure where to start with this book. It had some solid retelling of Bible stories while including recent warrior-for-Christ stories. These were both nice aspects. Although, a lot of the modern-day stories ended with the Christian being murdered which was more degrading than motivating for me. A great deal of the Bible passages used in this book were from The Message translation which was neat because I had never really read from that translation before. There were some useful tips put into lists about: ways to get the word out about Jesus, a list of additional books (biographies and "spiritual classics") to consider reading, and ways to worship outside of church. These three sections I dog-eared in my copy. I found them to be the most beneficial parts and they and they alone made it worth checking out. The rest of the book I didn't find to be particularly helpful or motivating and I found it to be a bit of a burden to read (hence the two stars).

This was such an encouraging book! My daughter and I read it together and we were both challenged.
