Moving this from my “interested” shelf to my skip shelf since the author has been mixed up in a plagiarism scandal. It doesn’t affect this title but is a trigger for me since I had a childhood pastor who was a sermon plagiarist, among other things. I’ll pick another book on human trafficking ….
I didn't know I needed Christine Cain and her inspiring words in my life until I read them. Thank you to a friend for lending it to me. I want to buy for myself and a dozen other people. It is hard being a Christian nowadays for all the people that are negative towards it. Religion isn't bad, there's just bad people in religion. So to read about forgiveness and seeking God and being called to do selfless acts makes me take a strong look at myself and want to be a better human in this life. I alw...
It was a good book. I am not particularly an anxious person, so it didn't apply much to me, but I did enjoy the good parts about life, prayer, and the quotes. Parts of the book are really moving!4.0/5
"God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called." This is the main thing I got from this book and I think will stick with me forever. I just know that whatever he calls me to do, that he will help me to do it even if it seems impossible or if its something I have never done before.
This book is awesome. I took my time reading it because I didn't want to miss the message within its pages. I know that God is using books like this one to motivate people who know He's calling them to a greater degree of relationship. As the relationship deepens our eyes open to the ministerial assignments we feel we are incapable of accepting. There will always be giants to intimidate us into remaining comfortable with being complacent, but it is up to us to see through the eyes of faith and p...
I have a confession to make...I stalk Christine Caine.I read her blog, listen to her podcasts, and follow her on Twitter.When you listen to or read what Christine Caine has to share,you realize that she leaks Jesus.I want to be around for the splash.Undaunted is the testimony of someone who was lost and then was found.A story of the rescued called to rescue.It isn't just her story, but ours as well.Throughout this book Christine shares about looking to God for her identity along with her purpose...
Some of the stuff that goes on in our world today is shocking. It’s difficult to imagine teen girls involved in human trafficking, abused, sex slaves, facing their lives with no escape, beatings, and even death. I was amazed when I read about such cases. In my little world, such happenings are impossible. Or are they?In her book UNDAUNTED, Author Christine Caine begins the story at a safe house in Greece, run by The A21 Campaign, the rescue ministry that she and her husband, Nick, started. She’s...
I can't say enough about this book. Every single page moved me and humbled me. There is always a tendency to think of ourselves first; like we are the world that should incumber everyone's thoughts and minds. In reality the world is made of people who need love, compassion, help, rescuing, who need Jesus. The pages of this book knocked the wind out of me! I would think of the times I have been selfish in my own desires when I am truly living a blessed life. There is a girl out there that has str...
Christine Caine is as powerful a writer as she is a speaker. She openly shares the hurdles she has faced and overcome because she puts such strong faith in Jesus Christ. In the first half of the book she discusses what holds us back from jumping the hurdles set before us. In the second half, she strikes directly at the heart with the importance of doing what seem like a daunting task. This is a challenging but inspirational read. Prepare to have your motives reassessed and be willing to open to
There is a plethora of incredible, insightful, and inspiring Christian authors lining the shelves today. I look forward to each new book bringing motivation and perspective in my walk with God. While the organization the author and her husband lead sounds fantastic and I respect the wonderful things she is doing to be a light for Christ in the world, I did not enjoy the book. I found it to be very "woe is me" from the beginning with the adoption story that dragged out. Children are adopted every...
You will be convicted to save others for JesusI felt very convicted by Christine Caine's story that even though I am only one person, I can make a difference in this world by showing others Jesus' love, mercy, forgiveness, healing, and grace. A powerful, convicting book. You will be forever changed once you have read it.
Absolutely amazing example & story. While I held my sleeping 5-month old daughter, I welled up with tears as I read heartbreaking stories of young girls who have been hellishly abused. As a daddy I cannot fathom such things. As Christians we must realize that those girls are all of our daughters and sisters, and we must accordingly take action in the name of Jesus.
Well I now want to relentlessly go after the lost & help every single person hurting!:(
This may be more like a 3.5 because I didn't love the writing, but OH MAN is there a lot of truth in there. It's hard to think about writing styles in the midst of all that incredible message.I've heard many sermons by Christine Caine, and this book was just as good as those. Challenging in so so many ways.I'm leaving this book challenged not to sleep-walk through life but to be sensitive to and aware of opportunities and interruptions that could change the direction of my life.We are meant to b...
This book fell into my hands the very week I needed the help it is packed with. What were the odds of that happening? I didn't recall how it crossed my radar, when I had placed a request with my library to buy or borrow it, and when that would happen. It arrived, via inter-library loan, which pushed it up to the top of the 'gotta read now' stack. Now I find myself wanting to purchase a case-quantity to give away to any and all takers. (The case quantity is two dozen, so I've settled for just six...
This book changed my perspective on the world. It helped me grow as a person, and more importantly, it helped me grow in my relationship with God.If you ever have a chance to read this again, may God bless your time and continue to work through you.March 4th -I started reading this book when I was 16 years old in October 2015. I got to around page 45 when my life continued to plummet, so I put this book on hold with full conviction to start it up again later. Now, almost a year and a half later,...
Are you afraid to do what God is calling you to do? Then this book is for you. "There is ALWAYS something to lose - we can choose to surrender to the fear and let it rule us or we can surrender to God and live Undaunted." My favorite message from this book is to remove the phrase "but, God..." from our lives (But, God I don't know how to do that...But God, no one will believe me...etc). God does not ask, Are you capable? He asks, Are you willing? We will never have enough time, money, resources
Totally inspiring, especially very encouraging. Worthwhile reading, I get caught up with fear and trying to run away from where God wants me to go. Christine is right, we tend to make lists to get away from it, when in the beginning, the idea sounded great. The stories were really amazing! Loved it, the first day I read the book, I was almost halfway done because I could not get enough of the book. Feeling the love of Christ through her story was amazing! Im definitely going to keep this book to...
We read this book and used it's accompanying workbook for a five week summer study at church and I found it covered a number of areas that could be a part of many people's life and gave some encouraging scripture as well as personal insights.
This can be a difficult book to read -- there is some "intense" content at times, but overall it is a book with a solid message. It's a book that causes the reader to think, to consider, to really stop and look at what is keeping you from doing what God is specifically calling you to do. It may not be as public an act as this author's ministry, but we all are called to be light in the dark. Good read. Worth your time.
