Jesus Over Everything: Uncomplicating the Daily Struggle to Put Jesus First by Lisa Whittle
4.0
I liked this book. The premise of Jesus Over Everything is so good and important.
However, I gave the book four stars instead of five because the author goes on and on and on about her dad’s “fall from grace”. Apparently he was a “rockstar preacher with a mega church” but lost it all in the 90s after being convicted for tax fraud (or something like that. I didn’t care enough to look into it). It’s been *thirty years* and literally no one cares anymore except her, so it’s weird she brings it up over and over throughout the book. I found myself thinking “Let it go, Lisa!”
Other than that, I liked the book and the concept of the “deadly overs” and the Jesus Over Everything manifesto. My favorite chapter was “service over spotlight”. So. Good. I highly recommend this book.
