    I hadn't read any of Mark Batterson's books prior to this one and I wasn't sure what to expect. I am very happy to say that I was very impressed with this book! It is about going "all in" with God, using your life, everything you have, to bring honor and glory to our Savior.

    I loved how Mr. Batterson uses so many examples of people who gave God their all. People in different fields of work, from completely different backgrounds, who made a huge difference for God and His kingdom. He shows us that it doesn't matter what your income or station in life, God will use anyone who is willing. Not all of the stories ended well, there are no fairy-tale endings in this book. He tells it like it is, he doesn't gloss over the hard parts, in fact, he points them out. He wants everyone who reads this book to know that following God isn't a decision to be made lightly. Being a "real" Christian, being someone who isn't afraid to stand up for God, someone who will do the hard things in life, is difficult and will become more so. Mr. Batterson makes this very clear. He doesn't want anyone going into this with any illusions. I appreciate his honesty and bluntness. He isn't rude or crass, or intentionally offensive (though I'm sure this book will offend some people), he just wants to make sure that we understand what being an "all in" Christian is all about.

    I highly recommend this book to anyone who is searching for more of God. Though, I may add that it is recommended to read The Circle Maker first, as he says that it is kind of a prequel to this book.

    I received an Advance Reading Copy of this book from Zondervan publishing for my honest review, which I have given. I have received no compensation for my review and all opinions expressed are solely mine.

    Written for Young Adults, this book makes the point that unless we are "All In" with Christ, we are going to be unfulfilled and unproductive in our Christian lives. Batterson makes the point with several examples from those whose accounts are recorded in the Bible, as well as historical figures and current examples. He does a good job of always coming back to that point. I think it is a good, spiritually challenging book for those who are making life decisions. I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, which I have given.

    We need follow Jesus, going all in for him - holding nothing back. Mark and Parker Batterson tell us how in this book in a way that's encouraging, but far from boring. It kept my attention with real life stories and inspired me to be a better person for Jesus.

    Each chapter was just the right length and perfect for any teenager and young adult. I highly recommend this book!

    I found this book to have some good points. There were several chapters that caught my attention and I found myself moved a couple of times. The author was correct that a person must be fully committed to the Lord and he backed up his statements with many stories from Scripture. However, I found it silly for the author to use such phrases as "get off your butt," etc. I am sorry, but it was ridiculous and somewhat crass. I would have enjoyed it more if his writing had been more mature.

    The copy that I received had several errors (such as grammar and punctuation), the worst of which was a section of missing pages replaced by blank ones. Hopefully, this will be corrected for the final copy.

    Overall, I was not greatly impressed, but I will say that the author is on the right track. He did have a good message; it was just not delivered to its full potential, in my opinion.

    Thank you, Zondervan, for my Advance Reading Copy in exchange for my honest review.
