Yet, that’s exactly what Jake and his friends do. They know the good news, but are more concerned with fitting in and being cool than in sharing that good news with others. Until one day Jake wakes up with the ability to hear people’s hearts, their spiritual cries. With strong direction and encouragement from his youth pastor he begins to take what he knows and share it with others. The more people respond to the truth of the Gospel the more passionate Jake gets and the more contagious his excitement becomes. Soon many in Franklin High are stepping out and sharing the good news. But this gift doesn’t last forever and Jake has no idea what to do without it. | Extra Notes: | This book is one of those that really makes you think. It’s not the most high quality book in the world, and the youth pastor is almost irritating with his willingness to take advantage of Jake’s gift. But it’s true. We do have good news and most often keep it to ourselves. Yet the Holy Spirit is there, wanting to guide us into sharing our faith boldly with those around us, just waiting for a willing heart. I highly recommend this book. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
