BOTW: To be Perfectly Honest

Reading Time: 1 minute

What do you get when you take a crazy, witty speaker and author and combine him with a crazy challenge of not lying for an entire year?  You get  the best book I’ve read in a long time, To Be Perfectly Honest, by Phil Callaway.

Basically a journal that Phil kept during the year-long challenge, this book  has one good turn after another, and is written with a fast-paced style that makes it very hard to put down.  As a Christian, Phil found himself in quite a few sticky situations that required a lot of wit and courage.  One of my favorite one was when he got into an email exchange with a spammer who kept wanting him to send money in order to get the 25 million or so dollars that was waiting for him in a foreign country.  It was the kind of exchange that makes you wish you’d thought of it first!  Hilarious!!

My guess is that when you read the book, you’ll find yourself challenged to see all the ways – big and small – that we fail to live honestly in the situations in which we end ourselves.  One thing’s for sure, though.  You’ll thank me for recommending this book, and you’ll realize that I wasn’t lying about how awesome it is!

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
