Not a good book.


Unleashed: Release the Untamed Faith Within
By Erwin Raphael McManus
This book was originally released as The Barbarian Way. Erwin McManus shares in the Introduction to this new release that he wrote the book because of his fearless daughter, who personifies the barbarian way for him. So he changed the name, in an attempt to reach a broader audience.
I appreciate the message of the book, however, it's not very well written. His examples are easy to follow, but don't really seem to connect to the Biblical points he's trying to make! I do like the overall idea that Christianity is not designed for sheepish, status-quo people, but rather for those who are willing to follow Jesus and his message with boldness of character and dedication! Overall, It's a good message, but not a very good delivery.

Thanks Thomas Nelson!
