Losers and Winners Saints and Sinners
How to Finish Strong in the Spiritual Race

By Greg Laurie

     In his new book, Losers and Winners, Saints and Sinners, How to Finish Strong in the Spiritual Race, Author Greg Laurie actually made me cry.

     In fact, of all the books I've read and reviewed lately, his hit home, ringing with a rarely told truth-- that we Christians have but one goal. Not to find our purpose for its own sake, but to draw near to God and glorify Him till the end. It's not about us; it's all about Him. That's it in a nutshell.

     Often lately, I've read good books on this same subject of finishing well or finding purpose, but this one is a standout.

     Author Greg Laurie doesn't promise us, as the saying goes, a rose garden or that everything will always be great, but he gives us hope that no matter how bad things get, we are never alone, never far from the love of our marvelous God.

     He gives hope to the wounded, the downcast, the troubled and the sinner, reminding us that we have a God of second chances, who redeems whatever we offer Him. That He takes our ashes and makes them gold as we simply get into harmony with God, and live in sync with His purpose for us--to glorify Him until the very end.

     This is a book I can recommend with my whole heart, because it's balanced and tells the whole truth--that you can I can be overcomers only by the power of God, as we draw near to Him and live according to His principles of righteousness. Five stars to Greg Laurie for simply telling it like it is.
