I bought this book for my husband for Christmas after reading all the great reviews on it. However, since my husband doesn't read alot I thought I would read it first before giving it to him. That way I could honestly tell him if it was worth the read. As soon as I read the first few pages, I didn't want to put it down! Fr Larry Richards does a wonderful job of grabbing your attention and captivating his audience. His message is so powerful. I would recomend this book to any man (or woman) who wants to become closer to God. I am reading his book "Surrender" now and enjoying this one too.
