“Awake and Alive: A 30-Day Challenge to Revive Your Faith” by Pastor Matt Chandler is more than your usual daily devotional. I made the mistake of assuming it was going to be 30 days of cheering me up and giving me a pep talk. WRONG!

Mr. Chandler has provided 30 days of hard-hitting challenges that will make you reflect on where you are spiritually and challenge you to grow in your relationship with Jesus. But be warned. You will need steel-toed boots with these daily readings. I would be just reading along and all of a sudden…WHAM! It would hit me right in the soul and shake me.

Each day’s writing also provides a space for answering questions and journaling. It also includes a daily challenge to put these truths into practice.

Not only will I be going through this book again, but I will be buying copies to give away. The Church needs to take this 30-Day Challenge.

I am really really enjoying this book! I have been using it each day with my daily devotions and using it to study. I have always loved all of Matt Chandlers books and sermons. This is no different! Thank you for this!
