Review of "How to Reach Your Full Potential for God" by Charles Stanley
I was very excited to read this book, based on the title of the book and the author. I've not read anything by Charles Stanley myself before, but have been in various settings where his works were used (for example, my Sunday School teacher uses some of his works at times for our class). However, I was very disappointed by the book. It seemed to me too forced and not naturally flowing, and did not provide the type of insights that I was expecting. Essentially, I found it to be a self-help style book with a spiritual slant, but not as well written as what I've heard in other works by Stanley.
The book itself was choppy and difficult to read, not a flowing work that grabbed my attention and encouraged me to read more. Some of the other books I've read in this vein are difficult to put down, making you want to get on to the next chapter before taking a break; not so with this one. I found little desire to continue reading, and had to force myself through the book (primarily for the sake of the review). I presume this is not typical of Stanley's work, as (previously mentioned) I've been impressed by what I've heard from other of his writings, but this one failed to impress. I'm sorry to say that I don't recommend this book, as I'm sure his other works are certainly worth reading.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com <http://BookSneeze®.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
