I go to Flatirons where Jim is pastor and he does such a great job of blending grace and truth. It really makes the Bible applicable to my life right now!

If I'm honest, Flatirons was the first place where I began to sense God tapping on my shoulder. He did that in large part through Jim; as such, this book feels like home.
The wonder of this book is that with his usual candor, charm, humility, and poise, Jim shares Jesus' truth. And through Jim, Jesus speaks louder than ever: "I don't hate you; I love you and I want to be with you always."
The process of being freed from a dragon hurts, both in the moment and in life to come. But as this book drives home again and again, we never have to endure that process alone. Christ — who understood the pain — chooses to be with us. He never leaves us alone.
Thank you, Jim, for allowing God to speak through you. It hasn't always been easy — sometimes, it's been downright infuriating — but through it all, it's been worth it.

In the summer of 2008, I heard Jim speak for a week at a youth conference. One morning as he was speaking, my life changed forever. I came home, was baptized and Jesus and I have been best pals ever since. In the years that followed, I heard Jim speak on a few more occasions. Stumbling upon this book took me back to sitting a gymnasium with my youth group during the best week of the summer. A lot of the stories were ones I had heard before, I teared up and laughed just the same as I did then. There were new stories too, that caused similar reactions. As always, I'm in awe at Jim's boldness to talk about the messy issues of life/faith and his ability to put faith and everything else that comes with following Jesus into simple, easy to grasp words and notions. I'm so, so happy I stumbled upon this.
