review 1: Read this book if you think ambition is anti-Christian and is best to be avoided. Read this book if your DNA is filled with burning desires or if you're having less ambitions than an old man sitting in a rocking chair.Dave Harvey presented solid theological advices on ambition (a rare topic it is, prolly because of the things in my first sentence) that will remind you of your current track in life and bring you a new perspective of ambition. I've always been ambitious for a lot of things, and I always wonder whether that is against what God wants me to do. This book clears most of my doubts, and perhaps can do the same for you. Easy to chew, with a bit of humour here and there, this book is exactly what people; especially Christians; should read in the current postmodernis... morem era.
review 2: This is a very good book that addresses a little-discussed and much-misunderstood topic: Ambition. "Rescuing Ambition" is at the same time profoundly deep and winsomely accessible. The two chapters on contentment and failure alone are worth the price of the whole book. The modern church has been, and is being, increasingly "feminized." Harvey's expositions and applications of God's Word regarding such topics as desire, glory, ambition, failure, risk and reward are intensely practical and powerful antidotes for much of the aimlessness, apathy and indolence so prevalent in the church today (especially Christian men.) less
