Book Review - me, myself, & I AM

Truth right up front. I signed up to review this book but then I ran out of time. Planning a weekend retreat for youth takes a ton of time. That added to the fact that the book isn’t an ordinary book. It’s not one that you can do a quick speed read through. It’s a book of questions for you answer with God. I’ve perused it and it is very different from what you’d expect. My best explanation is that it is a journaling book, but maybe even a little more than that. When I have some time here soon I want to start working through it myself. It would be a great book for a person that journals regularly or for someone that wants to start.

With all that said, I’m going to wrap up my part with two things. First, I do have two free copies to give away. Leave a comment to this post and we will draw a winner on Friday, November 14. Second, I’m going to post the info from the publisher so you can get a better idea about the book.

A new experience of God comes one question at a time in this fun and provocative journal. Made up entirely of insightful, profound, and occasionally ridiculous questions, Me, Myself, and I AM invites you to open to any page, open yourself to God, and be the author of your own story.

Questions range from spiritually intriguing— You overhear God talking about you. What do hear him saying?

To thought-provoking— You are on a long car trip with a close friend who is not a Christian and the conversation turns to faith. What is your biggest fear about what your friend will ask or say?

To challenging— Do you believe that all of Jesus’s followers have a responsibility to tell others about him?

To just plain fun— If your life before you became a Christian were a movie, its title would be: Animal House, As Good as It Gets, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, It’s a Wonderful Life.

Me, Myself, and I AM will entertain, inspire, and get you thinking about your spiritual life from brand new angles. Whether you use Me, Myself, and I AM as a reflective tool, a way to start conversations with friends and family, or as a spiritual time capsule to look back on years later, their own words will create a powerful journey of self-discovery.
