I’m
not going to give you the whole low-down of what it felt like to read
Get Lost, because I’m not going to be that open. It’s
convicting, yes. Easy to read, yes—except for when it’s
convicting (as always, right?). And it’s about getting totally lost
in God.
So
that a man has to seek Him first in order to find you.
But
it’s not focused on getting lost in God simply because doing so
will send your super hero careening down the nearest interstate
toward you. It’s focused on getting lost in God because that is
what we are called to do.

Dannah
Gresh did this book extremely well. True stories (we all love those,
right?)—even a partial back-story for the beauty of the cover
(which a couple of you really liked . . . and yeah, I know it's June). Clear definitions from the
original Hebrew and Greek words (agape, ahabah, phileo,
etc.) to tell you what the referenced Scriptures really mean, as we can
find them vague and confusing in English. Explanations
of Solomon’s Song of Songs and the story behind it. And perhaps
the best part of all of it: the ability to journal. After each
chapter, Dannah puts note-pages for you to talk about what you’re
reading. It’s one way to get some of those emotions out in the
open, anyway.
Whoops,
practically forgot to say this . . . the focal point of Get Lost
is the 10-Day “Love Feast” . . . the time for getting lost
in God and getting out of the Violent Craving for a guy and
over yourself. But all of the book seems to be equally
useful to me. Sincerely recommended.
I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review.
