This book is for the Christian who
wants to make a difference but is unsure how to go about it. At the end of each
chapter, Kate Battistelli leads readers on their journey of faith by posing
questions such as: What would your life look like if you took God at His word
and believed you had world-changing potential? Do you believe there’s a God
Dare designed just for you? What do you think it is?
Each chapter focuses on a Bible
person, such as Ruth, Moses, the adulteress, the leper, who illustrates
overcoming a challenge. Battistelli then applies that challenge to life today. She
shares her own journey, which includes remorse and heartbreak along with wisdom
she’s gained. Besides Discussion Questions, chapters conclude with “Scriptures
to Think About” and “God Dare Secrets.”
Battistelli challenges readers with
statements such as: “We have more than enough talent and brains to do much more
than we are currently doing.” “Possess your possible.” “We forget (God) entrusts us with sorrow, with trials and
difficult circumstances. He wants us to find the deeper joy of knowing Him, not
just the surface happiness.”
The value
of The God Dare: Will You Choose to Believe the Impossible? lies in reading
through it chapter-by-chapter and taking time to think through the answers to questions.
The book offers much food for thought for personal contemplation, for small
groups or even for two or three Christian friends to work through together.
Battistelli
is a speaker and former actress/singer and the mother of Grammy award-winning
artist Francesca Battistelli. An excellent, challenging read.
