Unleashed: Release the Untamed Faith Within by Erwin McManus tells us to leave a life of complacency and rules and live an untamed life, or as McManus puts it, the Barbarian Way. This way is all about listening to God’s calling on your life and not being afraid to do something out the ordinary. The book is set up in four long chapters which explain how to not just listen to God but follow Him.
The book has a great message for those who are bored and stuck in a mediocre faith. It calls us to break free of the ordinary to allow God to choose your path. Although the message was good, I did not agree with how far some of the information was taken, such as rituals and traditions not being part of the Barbarian Way. For the most part, though, the book had relevant stories which made good points about our culture’s tendency to live in a way where we don’t take risks in our faith and grow tired in our faith.
This book was given to me for free by Thomas Nelson Publishing at booksneeze.com.
