Transformation awaits!Lee StrobelNew York Times best-selling author of The Case for Christ and The Case for Miracles It?s strange to describe a book on self-control as compulsively readable, but that?s how it is. I had no idea that learning how to get a grip on myself could be so enlightening, inspiring, and flat-out entertaining. And helpful, to boot. But that?s how it is. Drew Dyck?s latest work is a page-turner and an eye-opener. I simply couldn?t muster enough self-control to put it down. But before you judge me, you try, and see how well you do.Mark BuchananAuthor, Your Church Is Too Safe It isn?t an overstatement to say that nearly everything ailing our society, our communities, our families, and ourselves is rooted in our lack of self-control. This malady was addressed in the past by celebrating the virtues of self-discipline and self-sacrifice. In other words, the culture helped us acquire the self-control necessary to create a flourishing existence. Those days are over. Now virtually everything in our culture celebrates self-centeredness and has convinced us that not satisfying our desires is a form of self-betrayal rather than self-improvement. Where our culture has failed us, however, Drew Dyck has stepped into the breach. His book is a winsome and important exploration of the forgotten virtue that has been foundational to the Christian life, and to free societies, for two millennia. This is a conversation more churches and Christian communities need to be having, and Dyck is the right voice to start it.Skye JethaniAward-winning author and co-host of the Holy Post PodcastThis book was exactly what I wanted it to be: Big Science + Deep Bible + Practical Next Steps.
