Off the Hook!

This is a MUST read for anyone who wants to either prepare for a good future or make some changes during the middle of the journey. The book is packed full of life grounding wisdom sure to give every person a solid foundation to build on. A great gift for someone graduating from highschool or college. A great read for anyone who wants to grow to their fullest potential! I will re-read this book throughout life.

Excellent Book!!!

This book is perfect for small groups, especially High School and College Age. The kids in my group are actually reading this one. (A first in over 20 books we've gone through) It is well written like all of Dr. Farrar's books. IF you have or work with teenagers this book and Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University will help prepare them to avoid the major pitfalls of adult life.

Priority Read for Teenagers and Young Adults

We live in a world and a culture that exhorts and encourages at every turn for each person to build a temple to self in our hearts that will require us to bow down and worship the self beyond all else. you may look no further than the behavior of those around you, news, TV programming, billboards, advertisements, politicians, etc to find massive evidence that the idolatry of the temple to the self is firmly entreached and embrased. Jesus calls us to die to self and place all sins, cares, and concerns at the foot of the cross so that we may be loving and effective servants to each other, and hence to Jesus. for it is in serving each other in love that we serve Christ. If you have teenagers or young adults this is a must read for them and all mothers and fathers. do not hesitate. we are not guranteed our next breath. start tearing down the temple of self by reading this book that provides pratical wisdom. 3-hours to read.

highly recommended

I bought this book for my 21 year old son, and read it before giving it to him. This is a wonderful book and I recommend it for all to read who want to have a successful life and marriage.

Buy Multiples of this Book...Your Going to Want to Give this Away

Ok I have to admit that the title [...] in...Great job Steve. I heard this book referred to in a presentation and I picked it up the next day. I read it while I was traveling to speak at a retreat for a board of directors, and it had a HUGE impact on me. I read a lot of books and very few have had the deep impact that this book has had on me. Steve really focuses in on the power of our choices early in life and the impact they have on us as we get older. I was 28 when I read this book and it was good to get affirmation on some of the right moves I have made, but it also gave me some very needed direction on some of the choices that were still outstanding in my life. I have decided that I am going to give this book to every college graduate that I know. That is the most beneficial time to read this book. But you know what else I have done. I gave it to my father-in-law who is in his 50's and he said that it was greatly impactful for him even though he is a decade past 40. If you are trying to decide whether or not to buy this book. I would say this. Stop wondering and BUY IT! You will not be sorry.
