review 1: I don't read devotional books, most of the time I personally find them hollow and superficial, but Nasser's "A Call to Die" was a great journey. It is serious and encouraging, and if you don't want God to rock your boat, I suggest you wait to read it till you do. Speaking as a youth minister, this study has a lot to offer to every believer, no matter what level they are in with their relationship to God. I highly recommend it.
review 2: Nasser has created a book that even the non-reader will enjoy reading. He does this by creating forty short chapters (4-5 pages), that always starts with a short scripture passage that lays the foundation. His writing is filled with memorable illustrations, flickers of humor, and a challenge to an area of life that can hinder
... moreour devotion to Jesus Christ. When I read as a teen, often I would read a page and take in absolutely nothing as my mind was not focused. Nasser battles this by ending each day’s reading with questions that can only be answered if you internalized what you had just read. These questions not only test your comprehension but also provide a bridge into the personal application. Scripture memory is a part of the plan as well and Nasser creatively and almost subconsciously has you memorize a passage every week. Following that is a one page journaling space that always asks the same three questions to make sure we take it personally. I enjoyed A Call to Die because of the slow pace that it dictates. Too often we are in a rush to read something when what we really need to do is to take our time to read, comprehend, self-evaluate, pray, and hopefully change for Christ’s sake and ours. less
