Bill Giovanetti has the gift of taking Biblical concepts and making them understandable for everyone. "Inner Mess" is witty, challenging and will make you think about that "other" side of your life. But, Bill does not just give general information, he goes further and gives solid Biblical and grace filled steps to evaluate your life and make the changes that are needed. This book will enrich your life and should be in every Christian's library (well marked up, at that. It would also make a great gift. You will read it and then read it again. It is that good.

Not for those who want an easy fix. This isn't a "self-help book".
This is a book that helps us understand why it has been so hard for us to change ourselves and then offers ways how to free up God's power to cause inner transformation. As a pastor/teacher of over ten years, I can't think of a book I would rather recommend to the Christian who really wants to change and grow...

Bill Giovanetti is an evangelical protestant pastor who provides the reader a balanced theological discussion within the context of contemprary story-telling narrative. He provides insight on the inner conflicts of human nature, and how critical believers must rely and depend on the grace of God.

In his book, Giovanetti carries the reader through a fictional story of bus travelers, each of whom boards the bus at periodic stops, and each of whom represents an aspect of fallen human nature. Giovanetti pauses between chapters, and provides insightful theological comments on the tension extent between the fallen human nature and the grace (and power) of God in the Christian life experience. The book culminates in the clash (or crash) of these characters in their interaction, and depicts with much drama the role and subsequent power of grace to prevail.

This book really hits home, with real life examples of our inner messes and how God has provided the way to clean it all up. I love the way Bill teaches grace, grace, grace. It is God's amazing grace that gives us the capability to embrace each messy character inside of us. This is a fabulous, funny, and insightful book with beautiful, authentic advice.

This book is a winner. At last, a road map for navigating through life and suggestions on how to control all the little inner idiots, brats, pervs, control freaks etc. that lurk in us all. Through this book, you will learn to stop beating yourself up over those times when your inner mess rears its ugly head. Dr. Giovannetti uses humor, coupled with sound biblical teaching, to shine a light on the areas of ourselves we would rather not admit exist.

This book has transformed my life in ways that only the grace of God can. Finally a book that not only helps identify areas of our hidden "inner mess" but also gives extremely practical and biblical solutions in dealing with those areas that we thought were buried and yet resurface. You will walk away from this book with the renewed ability to live your life in freedom and with love. I've already handed out multiple copies of this book and have received positive and grateful responses.

This book is AWESOME!! I have been recommending this book to everyone I know. I love how it relates to everyone, no matter who, what, and where you are in life. It is great to read on your own, or with all your personalities, and/or you can use it in a study group setting. This book is versatile in meeting the needs of many people. Thank you Bill Giovannetti!!

This is a must read book! Bill Giovannetti is a gifted teacher and knows how to minister to my heart and mind so clearly using God's Word. He encourages me in my Christian walk and can do the same for you. I highly recommend this book!!

I'd like to add my kudos to Dr. G's wonderful book. He truly knows how to define our struggles in the Christian walk (the first half of the book) but doesn't leave us there with all the frustrations and anxieties. He brings true hope, grace, and love to our lives through the power of God (the second half). He brings into clear focus the freedom in Christianity instead of the world's point of view that Christians are so uptight and full of rules. What a very helpful book to understand and ENJOY the grace we have from God. I'd like everyone I love to read this book!!! (even those I don't know...)

I'm still reading this book. It's one of the best Christian self help books out there. Truly honest & down to earth. I think everyone should read it!!! No joke, it would help anyone understand why we are the way we are and how we can improve ourselves and become better versions of ourselves. Or better put become who God wants us to be.
