Synopsis

We Are So Quick to Say We Want “More” of God, but Is That Really True?As strange as it may sound, the most misunderstood, misrepresented, and potentially the most feared person in Christianity may very well be God Himself. Even seasoned Christians often view God as frightening, untrustworthy, and distant. But nothing could be further from the truth.Author and filmmaker Darren Wilson takes a funny yet poignant romp through Scripture, revealing a long-time Christian’s hang-ups and fears of a God he was supposed to love. Wilson looks at questions such as:Is God selfish, silent, distant, and constantly disappointed in you?How do you love someone you can’t see and who has the power to punish you at any moment?How can a loving God throw people into hell simply for not believing in Him?Wilson encourages listeners to be honest with themselves and with God. He challenges us to face the things many Christians struggle with but are too afraid to talk about because everyone else seems to have this faith thing figured out. He believes God isn’t afraid of our questions, doubts, fears, or even our anger. The secret to peace and friendship with God lies in understanding who He really is.

I was really enthralled by the casual nature of writing in the first bit but about 4 chapters in it seemed like each chapter was the same format with different words. Good intentions for sure but just a little too repetitive......more

I received an ARC from Emanate Books, via NetGalley. This review is my opinion. From chapter one I knew this was a great book, a must-read for everyone. Especially if you grew up since young age in church. With a funny and interesting approach, Darren Wilson takes us to his own journey to demolish al......more

3.5. I think the strength of this book comes from the publisher description and the authors addressing it: "He challenges us to face the things many Christians struggle with but are too afraid to talk about because everyone else seems to have this faith thing figured out.

Goodreads review by Karah

I’m fairly familiar with Darren Wilson and his films so I was interested to pick up his book. I think I was hoping it was more of a personal experience with the making of his films. But it was largely in the self-help sprinkled with personal stories variety. I, personally, feel like that space is pr......more
