[Added 9/07/2007] This review concerns the "Inspirio/Zondervan Miniature Edition" which is a hardback. Amazon has lumped this hardback edition with the full text hardback edition so the site does not indicate that this review does not concern the full hardback edition. Caveat Emptor

We ordered this book, thinking it was the complete edition of the book. Neither the Amazon page nor the book itself make it clear that it is merely an abridged version. The only way to tell is to note that this edition has 125 pages and a full sized edition has 200+ pages. Needless to say, we will be returning it to purchase the complete edition. I am looking forward to reading the content as I have heard good things about it.

A nice, inspiring, easy-to-read but incomplete book, which contains a small portion of the original edition. The description should indicate, in addition to the dimensions of the book, that the full text is not included.

I did not realize that there was a full size version of the book and a mini-version when I ordered it. I think the Amazon notation should have been more clear that this was not the complete book that I was ordering. I ordered it and then paid to return it because it was not what I wanted.

Miniature version of "If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat."

Excellent book that can make a difference in the one ways views faith. If you can relate to Simon Peter, you will enjoy this book. God bless you as you move from your comfort zone. With Great Mercy author.

I was attracted to this book by its title, and its contents didn't disappoint. I was looking for Biblical based writings to support my growth in the Network Marketing Industry. Fear is the enemy to so many people. Looking Jesus in the eye and walking on the water is the best solution to this fear. Mr. Ortberg did a wonder and entertaining job of providing me with a tool to help me in my times of fear. For where there is fear, faith is lacking.

I did not realize the book was miniature edition, overall a nice spiritual book to give and use.

It's "cute." I didn't read the description thoroughly and thought I was getting the standard size book. It wasn't worth returning so I kept it and it sits on my desk as an inspiritual visual aid. I did eventually get the book I really wanted and have enjoyed it...

These miniature editions really are MINIATURE! So much so that handling them and the type size was not comfortable. I returned these and purchased the full size edition - much better! I am reading the full size one now - and it is excellent! The content of the book gets 5 stars! John Ortberg keeps his excellent sense of humor throughout the book, while still getting to the serious issues that will make even the most well adjusted person say - "Yep, I felt exactly like that!" I highly recommend this book to ANYONE, whether you think you have issues or not!

I was very disappointed in this book. I do not mind a miniature edition, but what the write up didn't tell me is that it was a condensed version. 100 pages were missing. This was not acceptable. They need to change the description so that that is clear. I bought the full edition and love it.

I guess I overlooked the word minature (my fault) at a glance it just looked like the regular size book and was very excited to find it at such a good price, and hardcover at that! PLEASE know if you order this you are not going to get the full version of the book. I am going to pay closer attention and get the whole thing next time. Felt a bit silly when I opened my package and the book was about 2 inches x 4 inches. For me I'm going to BAM and shop in person for this one!
