Summary: Shares His Experiences
Review: Dispite the odd title he has some encouraging things to say in this book. He uses personal experiences to teach truths from the Bible. He sums up the most important matters on page 31, "We must understand our mission in life--to love God and to love each other, and to glorify God through excellence."He has a tip on eliminating stress, i.e., to change both your expectations and your perspective. He adds that the medical profession has acknowledged that adequate leisure time is essential to maintaining one's health. Also along the lines of stress reduction and rearranging one's thoughts, he provides a pithy insight from Leonard Thomas who said, "If you want to test your memory, try to remember what you were worrying about a year ago." Toler defines worry as "unfaith." He says it is not compatible with faith. He adds that it is "the misuse of God's creative imagination which He has placed within each one of us." These are the type of topics, insights, and quotes one will find in this book. Just reading it will help reduce your stress because it focuses your mind on God and His Word rather than your problems.

Summary: A quick read and a GREAT book!
Review: First off, you have to love the title. The title of this book intrigued me so much I just had to buy my own copy and I've read it twice so far. If you love inspiring stories, anecdotes and word pictures that you will never ever forget, this book is for you. It's a real life - "here's how to apply the Bible to daily life" kind of book. It is funny, it is easy to read and understand and it moved me to tears in several places. Certainly a foundational item for a Christian's library of books. I've already recommended this book to several friends. This book is a solid five stars. There is no *down* side to it - it's all good news!
