Unfortunately, no spark here

1 STAR
REVIEW: Spark: Transform Your World, One Small Risk at a Time by Jason Jaggard
               
Unfortunately, this book did not cause a huge “spark” in me.
Its premise is good, as the main thrust of the book asks: “What is one risk you can take this week to make you a better person or the world a better place?”  It is a great question, but sadly the book was underwhelming in helping readers answer it for themselves.

The book had a few nuggets on the topic of risk that acted like kindling, but alas the spark and flame did not materialize for me.  I was excited about the concept of the book, but it regrettably was a disappointment.

Instead of reading this book, I suggest you take time with the question: What is one risk you can take this week to make you a better person or the world a better place?”, pray and ask Jesus to lead you in taking risks that truly make a difference.
