Official Review: Let's Be Honest by Jeremy Gove

[Seetha E]

Truth - without any compromise. Using BASICs - brokenness, accuracy, steadfastness, integrity, and credibility to explain honesty, the author presents a book encouraging discipleship in the Christian faith. Thank you for a detailed review.

[Creole]

In his book, 'Let's Be Honest', Jeremy Gove elaborates on the virtues of being faithful to God and ourselves. He advocates that to be wholeheartedly committed to God, one must ascribe to these B-A-S-I-C principles: brokenness, accuracy, steadfastness, integrity, and credibility. Adhering to these principles might seem daunting, but we must strive to adopt them as part of our daily lives, knowing that they lead to oneness with Christ. I appreciate your honest and engaging review.

The review is good. It gives a clear description of what to find in the book. I love Christian books, but I’m not too radical in my faith, and the review made this book sound like a guide to be perfect. But maybe it is just the book I need to read; I may consider trying it.

[Bettny Andrade]

This book is a journey of reflection on honesty based on different verses and stories from the Bible, along with their respective analyses and examples. I really like that it begins by describing the origin of the word "honesty." This book has many points that can be debated in an interesting setting, as everyone has different points of view, and the author is always describing his own analyses from his perspective. It's a book that seems quite entertaining and worth reading.

There are great potential in people but we need to be honest in our walk with Jesus. From what I read in the sample, I would give a 4 of 4. I like how Gove draws us in like withe Barker-Martin Bible aka The Wicked Bible. He gives facts that we can see. I do agree that I didn't see any grammatical errors. I enjoyed the review and sample.

It sounds like Let’s Be Honest by Jeremy Gove is an inspiring read for Christians who want to take their faith seriously and live with integrity. The way the author connects biblical principles with practical steps for living a life of honesty is compelling. I can see how the emphasis on radical integrity and wholehearted discipleship would resonate with those committed to living out their faith. Definitely a book for those seeking to align their life more closely with biblical teachings!

I'm truly not sure what to think about this book. It's sounds interesting, however I doubt it's something that I would enjoy. I'll give it a skip. Thanks for a great review. Congrats on BOTD.

Wow! I was blown away, and it was just the first chapter.
This is a Christian Book, but I can see right away it's not just a regular "religious" book. This is contemporary thinking, it goes beyond religion and tradition, it's a personal & spiritual experience. And I believe it's for the people who really want to go deeper into their relationship with God. I can definitely see Cove's spiritual maturity. My favorite quote was: "We're not saved by what we do, but our salvation affects what we do".
Cove uses the acronym B-A-S-I-C to lead us into the aspects of Biblical honesty. He invites us into his convictions to teach us tools and live a radical and transformed life.
The introduction is phenomenal, can't wait to read it.

I liked the part of the Hebrew definition of honesty in encompassing the first, middle, and last and the way the author relates it to the importance of being completely honest. Jeremy Gove’s Let’s Be Honest seems like an interesting read.

[Amy_Jackson]

"For something to be true, it must be totally true." And that's the truth!
In a world where corruption is waging a war against honesty, I'm glad for this book to help one stay on the course of truth.

[Yorktha Mallon]

Honestly Gove describe truth in the best way that it cannot be compromised just as the way it is seen today. this reader is a good preachy message to Christians whose mind are caught in the meddle of society.
thanks to the reviewer for such informative work.

[Bethel Saint Bright]

Gove has a symbolic way of teaching honesty. Coming from biblical perspective and the Hebrew concept, we get to see the entire application of honesty. This is a book for anyone who believes that honesty is all or nothing.

[Gayatri Tripathi]

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review. I found the explanation of the Hebrew word "emet" especially compelling—what a powerful way to underscore the idea that truth must be complete, from beginning to end. Gove’s use of the B-A-S-I-C acronym seems like a practical way to internalize the book’s teachings, especially for readers seeking a structured approach to spiritual growth. I also appreciate your honest critique of his stance on free will and the cultural commentary. It's refreshing to see a review that both respects the author’s intent and also challenges certain theological assumptions. Your description makes it clear that while this book may not break new ground theologically, it still offers solid guidance for believers seeking to live with more integrity.

[Tars]

I don't like the word "radical" in any context, especially so in relation to religion, because it brings to mind religious wars, and there is nothing more horrible than religious wars, since it is a war of total elimination. So the phrase "radical biblical integrity" invoked a negative reaction that made it impossible to perceive this book adequately. I am afraid I was unable to understand the author's intentions and prefer to pass. Apologies and congratulations!

[Atieno Magero]

I like that this book focuses on emphasizing the importance of being honest and truthful to readers. The author provides lots of information that indicates that they thoroughly researched the topic. I'm curious about the B-A-S-I-C acronym and the principles it stands for. Congratulations on making botd!
