Chesterton was a staggeringly giant intellectual. Apart from C.S. Lewis, he's the greatest apologist for Christianity and this book is a powerhouse. Don't give up on it after the first few chapters - there is great payoff to stick with it till the end, even if you have to rewind it multiple times.

My all-time favorite devotional. We need the Psalms more than we realize. They grapple with every issue we face and do it with raw sincerity. This is an essential audiobook and Dane does an amazing job with it.

This is a landmark book that will likely have ripple effects for decades. Evidence based, well-reasoned and incredibly enlightening - this is the equivalent of the red pill in The Matrix.

If you are engaged in the battle of A-Fib, you will be thankful you have this book. And... you will likely hate this book (or aspects of it). The authors are extremely thorough and, to a fault, almost purposely deflating. Among the myriad jewels you'll pick up along the way (and there are many!) you will also have to endure a tone that leaves inspiration and positive outlooks to somebody else. Often a book of this nature starts with the bad news in the first chapter to get your attention. This book, however, revisits that motif obsessively right till the end.

But there is clearly a method to their madness - they want you and I to take this as seriously as anything imaginable. And I actually really appreciate the thrust of that. This is your life (and mine!) they're talking about, after all. And they are nuanced and clearly masters of their fields in Cardiology and Electrophysiology. Also extremely helpful was their chapter on coaching us regarding rigorous questions to ask the doc who would perform an ablation, if we ever find we needed one.

The focus on the controllables - like exercise, biomarkers, diet, stress, et al. is also incredibly helpful and important. Though nutrition experts they are not. So while they overall give solid advice for a general approach to diet, it must be tempered as they are ridiculously hyperbolic on the vegetable front. You get a sense that they are so enamored with one style of dieting that they will eschew some basics to longevity like, well, our need for protein. If you followed their diet to an absolute tee, you would likely be in the bathroom every hour and watch your lean muscle mass decrease dramatically, which on the muscle front doesn't bode well for things like strength, brain function, and living as long as you can.

This review may seem overly negative, but I don't mean it to be. I am genuinely thankful for Drs. Day and Bunch and would love to talk to them someday to glean more of their knowledge. I just think that the reader must be warned that the doctors are not here to play encourager - they are on a mission to wake you and I up in a deeply, no-nonsense way. So prepare yourself before reading this book. But... DO READ IT! It is incredibly valuable, insightful and rigorous. I am thankful I have both the audio and hardcopy, if only a little hopeful they will revise certain aspects.

So reader, be encouraged. Be diligent and serious-minded as you pursue victory in the A-Fib battle. You are not alone. And there is incredible hope to be had. Your condition really can improve. And the improvement may even be dramatic. You can do this. Take this book and lots of other resources and run the race marked out for you!

Unlike any Lewis I've read, but so important. He documents his struggle with bold honesty. He's one of the greats and I'm thankful for this book.

Lewis at his most prophetic. Incredible read and perfect for today's times. Hard to believe he was so spot on in 1943 about what is coming to fruition all around us.

A must. Beautifully written and incredibly rich. This is poetic theology grounded in Scriptural truth.

One of the best (second only to Mere Christianity) books describing and defending the Christian faith in a loving and invitational way.
