IJR News — today's news from every sideJared Kim Russell Brand's book sounds refreshing because it admits faith is a slow process instead of some instant fix. Dana Whitfield I like that Brand is exploring Christianity publicly but this sounds more like a memoir than the practical guide the cover suggests. Rachel Meyers It's surprising how much deeper the surrender process runs than the book's title suggests. Rachel Meyers Brand's path from emptiness to faith feels genuine because real surrender rarely happens overnight. Tom Gallagher I wonder if the seven day angle was just to grab attention since the actual content seems to take a slower approach to the topic.
