Book Review: I Am Second

My Thoughts
Since I have watched some of the I Am Second videos, I was looking forward to reviewing this book, compliments of BookSneeze. The stories, written, are as compelling as the videos. Although, I did prefer the videos simply to hear the person's voice sharing his or her story. The stories shared are raw, and inspiring, and quite moving. The stories included are not those of just athletes and entertainers, which I loved. This is a good read, a simple one, and one that will inspire you.

Book Description
There is nothing quite as compelling as a personal story—an account of someone’s life, radically changed.

This book is filled with some of these amazing stories. Across North America and around the world, hundreds of thousands of people are proclaiming a new anthem: “I Am Second.” No longer are they number one. These people have come alive to the truth that God has a plan for this world…a plan that specifically includes them. In this book you will discover their stories—some from notable people and some not so well known—who have had a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ and are walking in radical obedience by putting Him first in their lives.

These stories are raw and real, dealing with the darkest moments of the human experience. Addictions, depression, infidelity, abortion, cancer, pornography, loneliness, jealousy, divorce, war…each story shows the redemptive power of Jesus who brings purpose and true joy to every secret place of life. Your story may not be included in this book…but you too can be a Second.
