Maureen's review

Jun 23, 2015

it was amazing

"All great characters in stories are the ones who give their lives to something bigger than themselves."

I really enjoyed this book a lot - Donald Miller has a really intriguing writing style and it is hard to put the book down because of it!
I loved all of his stories and thoughts on Christianity - he explains everything in ways that are so easy to understand but still challenge your thoughts on the matter.
Overall fantastic read that I would definitely recommend!
