I listened to this book on audio. It was read by Beth Moore. She always inspires me to live more boldly in my life and my walk with Christ! A great read. Highly Recommend.

Beth has a lot of good stuff in here. It is directed to women, but still plenty of hood lessons for men. 4 stars because the did the whole books in a green font that bothered my eyes.

I love how honest and real Beth Moore is. Her interpretations don’t always match with mine but there is such conviction, passion, and Jesus in her words. This book focuses on Jesus’ audacious love for humanity and how wonderful our audacious love for him can be. She mixes scripture, reflection, and personal anecdotes to inspire.

Such. A. Great. Book!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a revival you can read. I highly recommend it. Short enough you can read it in an afternoon, and never lacking any verve, wit, or gospel. Beth is on fire for God, and she'll light you up too.

Overall I liked the book. I have read Beth’s books before and this one is a bit more stretched out. The concept is phenomenal and I love how she shows her audacious love for Jesus. The last 2 chapters were beyond my favorite. I liked the book but thought it could have been condensed.

Warm. Relatable. Straight to the heart. This book is all of the things you'd expect from Beth Moore. I loved listening to it, but I'm sure it would be just as good to read.

Amazing! This is exactly what I needed in my life right now, and gives me a passion to pursue God's adventurous heart!

I found this book to be a great reminder of how we fit into the world as Christians, believers, or just humans (women specifically, but I think even men could read this and be encouraged) who are navigating the ups and downs without getting worn down by it all. I finished the book inspired by the concept that I could be audacious. I also appreciated the belief that I could leave a legacy of audacity. I only wish I had read this two months ago, so that when I gave my Great-Grandma’s eulogy in July, I could have said, “That woman had VERVE!”

As with all Christian books, I don't agree with everything this book contains, but the core message is invaluable. Beth discusses what a bold, impassioned, love-filled life of faith could look like and how to start pursuing it. I'm happy to have it in my arsenal.

Beth Moore has a wonderful way of drawing the reader to Jesus. The segment below hit home for me.
"Any relationship that ultimately and absolutely cannot withstand your audacious love for Jesus will almost certainly be a snare to you. If you remain strongly influenced by it, it will trip you up over and over, fog your spiritual vision, cloud your mind with confusion, and keep you in a perpetual state of frustration. Any profoundly controlling relationship that curtails your right to love Jesus Christ with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength could cost you your calling. It could suck the air out of the lungs of the life you were born to live. If your closest friends are opposed to your audacious pursuit of Jesus, add some new ones who share it. If you’re willing to look beyond your usual circle but still can’t find them, ask God to round them up and bring them your way. Keep your eyes wide open. Resist the thought that they need to look or act a certain way or be a specific age or color. This isn’t high school. Well, unless it is. If you’re a high school student and you’ve stuck with this book all this time, you’ve just won my heart forever. Please find a way to let me know. Regardless of your age, ask Jesus to bring people along who stir you up to love Him, chase after Him, and bask in Him in a way you wouldn’t have without them."
I saved that to my notes so I can go back and read that as I need to.
Highly recommend reading this and I will be reading more of Beth Moore in the future.
