NOT GOD ENOUGH
Why Your Small God Leads
To Big Problems
By J.D. Greear

OVERVIEW: In Not God Enough, J.D. reveals how to discover a God who: *is big enough to handle you questions, doubts, and fears *is a God of wrath and a God of love *is not silent * is worthy of worship *wants to take you from boring to bold in your faith *has a purpose and mission for you on earth *is pursuing you right now.

AUTHOR: J. D. Greear is pastor of the Summit church in Raleigh-Durham North Carolina. Which Outreach Magazine has ranked as one of the fastest-growing churches in the United States. Greear has a PhD in systematic theology from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of many books, including Gaining by Losing and Jesus Continued. J.D. lives in Raleigh with his wife, Veronica and their four children.

MY REVIEW: David Jeremiah said, "Because J. D. Greear believes great things about God, he has attempted great things for God." I believe this. Greear preaches for a church that has been ranked as one of the fastest-growing churches in the United States. He is the author of many books and this is one of his best. This is a great book. I realize that we are only five months into the year but this is the best book I have read this year.

I agree with Andy Stanley who wrote, "In Not God Enough , J. D. Greear takes on what are perhaps the most weighty and important questions of our day. His insights and anwers are both transformational and transferable. This is more than a book, Not God Enough is a resource you will use for years to come."

I also like what Greg Laurie said, "Too many Christians today are following a tepid, docile, half-baked version of God, who fits comfortably in their preconceived notions and Sunday morning schedules. My friend J. D. Greear has written a new book, Not God Enough, that is must-read for every Christian. it's a call to worship the true God of the Bible—bigger, deeper, and more unpredictable than we can know. I highly recommend it."

Not God Enough has three parts. Part 1. God Is, has 7 chapters. Part 2. God Is Good, has 5 chapters and Part 3. Bold Faith In A Big God also has 5 chapters. Since J. D. is a preacher I assume these chapters are from sermons he preached. Reading this book I found myself thinking, "I sure would liked to have heard these messages. Since I didn't I'm sure glad I found them in this book. They are good. Very good!
