Former NFL player Gray is a husband, a father, and the founding and lead pastor of Transformation Church in South Carolina. He writes here about how faith, love, and acceptance of Jesus Christ have changed his life for the better. His book opens with a wonderful description of eternity with God through Christ. This volume is divided into three parts. Part One shares Gray’s testimony about how he reached this point in his life. In Part Two, he discusses how his walk with Christ healed him from childhood abuse, neglect, and trauma and why he believes it is possible for everyone to heal through Christ. Part Three tackles the barriers and fears that so many have in talking to others about their faith. Gray’s book also includes prayers, which alone could be anthologized. At the end of the book, there are notes listing the Bible verses featured in each chapter.
VERDICT This work can easily be used for individual and ministry training. In each chapter, specific characteristics of God are explained and demonstrated, followed by a listing of holy habits, reflection questions, and prayers.
