BOOK REVIEW:
My goal in reading this book was to learn if I could pull off a 100% honest life and "how bad it would mess up my current life." If the author was serious and was able to pull it off and showed the value of being honest WITHOUT losing his life/shirt/wife/etc, I thought it might take the fear away and I might do it also. Being 100% honest is a lot of work and it just takes a lot of brain power not to tell white lies that make people feel good.
But this book is not serious at all. This "diary:" has so many days of "doing nothing but living" or days of "cracking funny jokes" or "making up stories" or actually skipping days and not writing diary entries for all 365 days. The part that bothered me the most, is about 95% of this book has nothing to do with honesty or God. It's all about some guy trying really hard to be funny. Sometimes he is funny but the fact that EVERY SINGLE other day he is stretching for a joke makes the whole book trying and painful.
After reading this book, the author comes across as an egotistical comedian who thinks he is so cute and funny that he is writing a comic book. Wrong audience. His book is supposed to be for Christians looking for an example of an honest life. I was seriously disappointed.
