I read Rise in exchange for honest review. I wanted to review the book because sometimes, we need to rise up and do the work of God, instead of thinking this life is all about us. In church on Sunday, we learned how Jesus died on the cross for us so we can live for him. He didn't give up his life so we can do our will. Not our will, but his. Jesus's death paid the ransom for sin, so we can live again.

Lee started out discussing how his life had changed when he became a Christian as a teenager. I also loved this views on the 7:00 am logic. I, too, have to force myself out of bed each morning, if I want my kids to get ready and catch the school bus. Waiting a few extra minutes can be the difference between them staying at home or getting an excellent education.
