Our Last Great Hope

I review for BookSneeze®

**Received free from booksneeze.com in exchange for an honest review**

When reading the synapse of this book, I thought it sounded like big aspirations and thought it might be just another one of those books that you really don't get a whole lot out of. To my surprise and delight, I thought this book was excellently written. One of the things I liked about this book was how biblically based it was. There were scriptures to prove what the author was trying to get across to the reader. There were many life changing thoughts to ponder such as "Life is to be lived for an audience of One...if I can focus utterly and completely on pleasing God, suddenly life becomes very simple. I've defined my path, and His Word will light that path for every step" (p. 7). I believe this book had the effect that it was intended to have on the reader. To make one realize how the Great Commission is a commandment and that it is life style of living the life and sharing Jesus everywhere. We must stand up and not compromise and as the author puts it, "Compromise always leads to weakness, because we lose the strength that comes through the purity of commitment" (p. 35).
