An Everyday, Every Moment Message

   I read the Be the Message since I had read a previous book by the same authors, Chris and Kerry Shook. The message theme is simple enough: live out God's message of love and grace every day, every moment. Don't wait thinking you have to do something big or go on a mission trip. Instead, reach out to those right where you are. So simple yet so hard at times. Reading this book will help you get started with baby steps and then, will then, you will be intentionally living out God's call on your life. Many examples abound but one in particular when one of the author's was waiting in line at the store, the express check-out no less, and is impatiently waiting on the customer ahead who discovers she does not have the money to cover her bill. The author realizes in that moment she is to be the message. She pays the customer's bill. So be the message. Step out in faith and read this book. It will change your perspective of living out God's word.
  I received this book to review free from WaterBrook Press and Blogging for Books.
