Plan B

I have read Pete's blog on occasion, so it was with interest that I received the book and read it.

I found it to be easily read and understood. So many times, Christian writers tend to fall into the trap of making it sound complicated, but Wilson's book does not do that. His writing style, though not a true conversational style, is personal and is reminiscent of sitting on the front porch talking with a friend. It is filled with poignant stories and examples, but also has the well placed chuckle to keep you going.

If I had any complaint about the book it is that it seemed to me that he kept repeating the same thoughts in each chapter. Rather than building on the previous chapter, it seemed to be the same thoughts verbalized a different way. That said, I also recognize that sometimes those for whom the book was written may benefit from hearing it several times.

Would I recommend the book? Yes. I believe Wilson is teaching some valuable lessons that Christians can learn, and perhaps NEED to learn, and it serves as a valuable reminder that things aren't always going to go as we planned, and at those times, we can trust in God for the alternative plan.
