Review: (by Steve Duncanson)

As the title suggests Mark discusses individuals who were All In. They reached a monumental point in their lives that they put all their chips on the line for Christ.

Mark writes about Johann Sebastian Bach, Shamgar, Noah, David, Peter, Elisha and Hernan Cortes. In addition he writes about himself and others that he knows that have gone All In.

I really enjoyed his writing as he has some "one liners that are extremely thought provoking like; Grace is getting what you don't deserve; We want everything God has to offer without giving anything up; We're afraid that if we don't hold out on God, we'll miss out on what this life has to offer; Failure is part of every success story. And for some of us in PebbleCreek he says "The key to a long drive is to loosening your grip."

Mark differentiates between what many of us do by not following Jesus but inviting Jesus to follow us. He calls this the inverted gospel. So quit holding back and go All In with God.

Enjoy this book.
