      A beneficial and confronting read for anyone who loves themselves
    • 5/5
      This was a very humbling and freeing book. The truth about us is also the truth about me. Knowing this takes some of that awful burden I'm so prone to carry about myself and others... Yes, this book taught me a lot!
    • 5/5
      Very good teaching on self-righteousness. Brant Hansen’s writing is honest and quite entertaining to. Not to serious and I believe it to be laced with grace.
    • 5/5
      So easy to listen to! I related on many levels and an important truth was delivered in a creative, entertaining and even funny way. Worth the read or listen
    • 5/5
      Everyone needs to read this… So humbling and freeing. Brant has such a God given gift for taking super serious topics and making them so light, funny and relatable while still hitting deep.
    • 5/5
      Amazing! A must read. So very encouraging and great message.
    • 5/5
      A book that shows how broken we are as humans and how much we need Jesus. Living in a world that more and more normalizes wrong doing to appear right in the world’s eyes when we need to realize that we are all sinners and wrong doers.
