Book Review of Rhinestone Jesus: Saying Yes to God When Sparkly, Safe Faith Is No Longer Enough

God *can* use you, but you have to be willing - will you say "yes"?

Real life, real struggle, real victory, real mess, real hope. A well written book recounting Kristen's (& her family's) journey to an impossible dream. Because she said yes. The beautiful thing about this book is she knows her "yes" necessarily looks different than my "yes" will or your "yes" - because we are different people. Because God has equipped us differently - and serving God wherever he has placed us is what makes us authentic. When we stop trying to fit Jesus in our life, and start fitting our life into Jesus.

Since I have the leisure of nit-picking, I knocked the book a half star to 4.5 because she quotes The Message paraphrase of the Bible is what is commonly used, not an actual translation. Still, I highly recommend the book.
