It's Bold!

Michael W. Smiths is a man that has created some of the best worship songs ever. In his book Its Time to be Bold Michael shows where and when he got the inspiration for many of his songs. In his Bold book he shares many times he had struggles and how good things from his God came from these struggles; including a countless number of his worship songs. The first chapter starts off with a great depiction of Michael¡¦s hectic concerts and how God total showed up for him, blowing his expectations away. These first opening paragraphs grab the readers¡¦ attention drawing them in to this eventful book. In this book I loved the way that Michael W. Smith takes the worst situation, like his daughter being lost, and turns it around into something to praise God about then relates it to a persons¡¦ walk with God. I also love the fact that from this book you get a look into a worship leader¡¦s life; questions like: ¡§how do worship leaders get the words to write and praise God?¡¨ always came to mind, this book give a huge glimpse of that. I totally think that this book was awesome and I do not have any dislikes about reading it! Good Book ƒº

Smith makes Biblical priciples relavent to today.

It's Time to Be Bold is an excellent read for anyone who wants to believe in and preach the Bible, but feels it is irrevelant to today. Through personal stories of his own and those of his fans, Michael W. Smith creates word pictures never thought of before. You will see church as the best hang-out on earth and the Bible as awesome as any romance or action novel. The bottom line: Smith is real. He realizes that young Christians need to evangelize more than ever in today's society and that with a few basic rules you can do it. This is a must read and, believe it or not, even more inspiring than many of his songs!

A great book for reading to challenge you.

This book has many spritual messages for young and old alike. Based on some of Michael's own life experiences, he gives incredible first impressions about his experiences and touches the heart of the reader. You too will find it "It's Time To Be Bold" to stand up to face the challenges that life seems to present. Some of his experiences are near the same things I went through and can relate to. He really spoke what was on his heart and touches the reader.

It was a very inspirational book!!

The book was about how to live your Christian life, and had many good pointers. It is good for Christians and non-Christians alike. I enjoyed this book because it helped me out in this difficult world we live in. Smith is an excellent Christian pop artist and the title is from one of his songs. He wants Christians to be bold in their life, and be able to stand up for what is right. It is important to hang out with Christian friends. I recommend this book for anybody who's remotely interested in strengthening their Christian values.
