Mike Glenn sets out to share the most important thing about God in his book The Gospel of Yes. As a senior pastor of a mega-church in Tennessee, Mike Glenn really seems to love his church, his role in life and God. As a book reviewer...I really love reading this type of Christian book and I really want to give a completely positive review, but I have reservations.
Before I get into those, let me say The Gospel of Yes is a good book. Mike Glenn distills his thoughts on God in a wholly personal way. He pulls in illustrations and examples that are fresh, reminding the reader that God is in control - He made you and has a plan for your life. (God said Yes to you in other words)
My hesitation in giving this book my full support is simply that I think the premise of the book is a little too contrived. Figuring out that God says Yes to you is a nice twist, almost a play on words - as was some of the scripture references. (not all, in fact I really loved a lot of the truths - even if they were rehashed in order to put a "yes" spin on them)
3 stars
Note: I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review, which requires an honest review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
