All In: You Are One Decision Away From a Totally Different Life

by Mark Batterson - Christian, Christian Living, Nonfiction

The Gospel costs nothing, but it demands that we go “all in,” putting all that we have into God’s hands. And that’s where we get stuck --- in spiritual no man's land. We’re afraid that if we go all in, we might miss out on what this life has to offer. It’s not true. The only thing you’ll miss out on is everything God has to offer. And the good news is this: if you don't hold out on God, then God won't hold out on you.
