REVIEW: Be the Message by Kerry
& Chris Shook
What is your life message?
Be the Message is
meant to help you discover your God-given “message” and direct you how to live
it out.
The book is divided into four parts: 1) Transforming your words
into a life message, 2) Discovering your unique life message, 3) Understanding
the message that confounds the world, and 4) Taking your life message to the
world around you. And at the end of each chapter are three to four questions
that ask you to reflect on the chapter, as well as ideas to help you live out
what you just read.
As a pastor who gives a “message” every week, I loved the title
and concept of the book. But overall it was just okay for me—nothing truly sensational.
A few nice concepts I took away from the book, however, included how we as
Christians are the living Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world, how we should
have a “holy disturbance” for something in which we are willing to stand up and
fight for the Lord, and how we need to reach out and touch life instead of just
watching it pass by.
*I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for this
unbiased review.
