In two words: Life Changing. This book really goes straight to the heart and is able to do some amazing things in your walk if you let it. From the beginning, David Nassar gets you. And that's what's so amazing about this book--he really "gets" the people he's writing to. He let's you know that it's not worth it if you aren't gonna take it seriously--and you have to. But when you reach the end of those 40 days you'll never look back and regret it. The book gets you thinking, is meant to be went through as a journal, and offers a really easy way to memorize several different verses by the time you're finished. Everybody should do this...an awesome book to go through in a discipleship group or with an accountability partner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Devotional I've read, March 5, 2009

This review is from: A Call to Die: A 40 Day Journey of Fasting from the World & Feasting on God (Hardcover)

This book is the best devotional I have used. It is direct and to the point. We make our lives too much about us. This book helps you focus on God, the One who deserves to be the focus of our lives. Through Biblical truth and personal stories, David Nassar takes you on a 40-day journey that will change your life (if you let it). This book has depth that a lot of devotionals lack. Each day is not conveniently contained on one page. It takes time (one hour suggested) each day to take in what David has to say, to answer his thought provoking, personal questions, to memorize scripture and to chart a plan to implement what you learn. This does not focus on making you feel good. This focuses on being honest with God, denying our desires, serving the Creator, and finding a life rich in the Godly rewards, not earthly ones.

Buy it, read it, live it.

This review is from: A Call to Die: A 40 Day Journey of Fasting from the World & Feasting on God (Hardcover)

This is a great devotion for anyone who thinks they want a closer relationship to God. It helps you truely stay committed to one thing and it helps you daily memorize scriptures, pray, and truely learn to sacrifice something that is getting in the way of God. If you want to strength your relationship with God or just want to get rid of something unholy in your life, do this devotion, it will change your life!
