Living a Christian life is not easy, but the hardest part is being honest with one's self about our behavior. As a Christian myself, this book will provide valuable lessons about living a life for God. Thanks for the review!

This review offers a thoughtful critique of Let’s Be Honest, praising Gove’s clear writing and scriptural insight while also challenging some theological assumptions. The reviewer appreciates the book’s accessibility and structure but notes it lacks depth. It's a balanced take, ideal for readers seeking practical Christian guidance without expecting profound revelations.

One can clearly tell from the review itself that this is not a book for the fainthearted or those whose commitment is questionable. Indeed, the call to radical discipleship is timely, as this would also echo the writing of John the Apostle in the book of Revelation. The book is already on my want-to-read shelf, and I look forward to learning from it.
Many thanks for the review, @Stephen Campana.

' He begins each chapter with an anecdote, defines some terms, and provides scriptural support for his premise. At the end of the book there are discussion questions for each chapter.'
This might not be my type of genre, but it is quite informational.

I read the book's review. I found it interesting how the book uses the word “emet” to explain total honesty. I also liked his mention of the B-A-S-I-C principles—those seem helpful for readers wanting to grow in faith. It’s good to know the book is clear and well written, even if some parts may not feel new or deep. The review helped me understand what to expect.

This book is written for a broad audience. It’s not sectarian, so it will not offend anyone. It’s scholarly, but accessible to the layman. Gove’s writing style is breezy, and readers will find it easy to follow his train of thought.
- Sounds easy enough. I don't mind taking a crack at it. The review was eye opening. Thank you.

Let's Be honest is a book designed for Christians, capturing the Bible perspective on honesty, and a bit of translation to explain the true meaning of the word "honest" in Hebrew or rather the breakdown of the Hebrew word which was translated to mean "honest"

"Let’s Be Honest" by Jeremy Gove dives into what it really means to live with radical biblical integrity. With personal stories, scripture, and a helpful acronym (B-A-S-I-C), it challenges readers to live honestly in every part of life. It sounds both inspiring and practical—I’d love to read it! Congrats BOTD!

According to Jeremy Gove's book Let's Be Honest, "Jewish scholars incorporated the very placement of those characters into their definition of the word." This is the first indication that Gove views honesty in the biblical meaning as an all-or-nothing concept. Anything must be completely true by definition in order to be considered true. There must be truth at the start, in the middle, and at the finish. Very interesting BOTD.

Jeremy Gove in "Let's Be Honest" encourages transparent honesty within and without, especially when no one is looking but the fact remains that each individual has a choice to make about being honest. Congrats on being BOTD. Nice review.
