I’m mostly a huge fan of Pastor Mike on Sundays, but this book was an utter disappointment and left me with serious questions about Pastor Mike’s theology. Run to the scriptures for what God says and not what man says. It's a quick and easy read, I would just caution greatly that some of the tips and advice can provide a very rough foundation of Christ for a relationship/friendship, however, there is no one size fit all model as every relationship/friendship is different therefore, run to the scriptures to love your spouse, family, and friends as Christ loves you. Therefore, I think that Pastor Michael Todd gave decent advice more so as a friend HOWEVER, there was not a lot of scripture to back up his experiences which is what I was hoping for. It is important to take God's word literally and accept it as truth and out of love and fear for God that we follow His word. With that being said, it is important for us to run to the scriptures in good times and in bad times. Being a Believer is being a minority within society because what God has called us to do is not what society values. However, once again, I believe it is prosperity gospel driven. I was able to relate to some of the other struggles Christians have when it comes to thinking of what society says. I think Pastor Michael Todd did a better job of explaining some of these struggles within this book. I will say that it is often said by parents to 'not have sex before marriage' however, few dive into the why behind it other than 'the bible says not to.' Oftentimes one is more compelled to do or obey something when they understand why.

I will say, it was great to read about Pastor Mike Todd's personal experience however, is very seldom to bring a vast amount of scripture to back up his claims.

I thought this book was an easy read, unfortunately I believe it is filled with the prosperity gospel which doesn't bring light to who God really is.

So I have come back to rewrite this review.
