it

To me, this book started slowly and didn't really say anything new but had a solid ending.

I appreciated Groeschel's transparency and, most of the time, his humor. The inclusion of other voices in the form of pastors sharing their stories was a nice touch and helped break up the book.

The 11th chapter about having 'it' was convicting. When Jesus is more important than anything else, you have 'it'. That's a challenging truth to stare at and can be a tough one to work on.
