DO YOU HAVE "SKIN IN THE GAME?" FIND OUT IN THIS CHALLENGING READ BY RICK LAWERENCE!

Have you ever had a good friend ask you a really tough question, and then pin you down until you provided an answer?

In this book, Skin In The Game, think of author Rick Lawerence as a good friend.  Except, he is not just asking one really tough question.  He has eight of ‘em. 

And yes, he wants to pin you down until you come up with an answer.  But he’s going to help you find the answer.  He’s going to explore them with you.  Because the questions really are that important:
Will You Face Your Shame? 
Will You Receive Grace? 
Will You Embrace Your True Identity?
Will You Own What You Want? 
Will You Confront Your Fears? 
Will You Risk? 
Will You Wait, Even When All Hope Is Lost?   Will You Make Jesus Your First And Last Resort?

The questions are all centered around the title of the book.  Basically, Rick Lawerence wants us to realize that the Christian life really isn’t going to be lived for the glory of God until we have “skin in the game.”  Until we have something invested in the journey. 

Each question serves as a chapter heading, and Rick Lawerence explores each question from a variety of points of view.  He also anchors the questions to Scripture, the teachings of Jesus as he ministered 3 ½ years as the God-man.  You see, Jesus, too, had “skin in the game.”

There are only 139 pages in this book, but don’t let the length of the book fool you.  This is not light reading, by any means.  Find some place where you won’t be disturbed, and prepare to be challenged by some of the toughest questions you will ever face.
