  For those pious Christians who rant and rave that they haven't read the book and don't need to, I say...You are the VERY people who should read it. Pastor Kerry Shook and his wife teach not only the Bible, but how to LIVE it. The duty of a Pastor is not only to preach to his congregation, but to show them how to live the Word. Preaching Fire and Brimstone only pushes many people away from the church...especially the young. Why not show people, not only by their example but by the Word how to achieve a happy and loving life which is what Jesus taught and expected us to do. We use a dictionary to teach our children to spell and understand words, why not books to help us understand the importance of God in our lives and how it affects our families?
  One only has to attend one of their services to see what peacefulness and closeness to God it brings us. And their guest speakers are people who are witnesses and relate Jesus to our present day lives. To see the youth programs that are available and see the the amount of kids attending on Saturday nights instead of hanging out at the Mall or on the streets is proof that Fellowship of the Woodlands is reaching families and providing wholesome outlets for these kids.
  Jesus taught us to love and to embrace a good and Godly life together. Those negative comments from some make me sad for them that they are so full of hate and so narrow minded that they cannot open their hearts to a Pastor who is trying to help as many people as he can. To them I say...Stop quoting the Bible, and start living it.
  One Month to Live is a wonderful book. I received it from my loving son for my birthday.
  So thank you Pastor Kerry and Chris. You are spreading the Word and showing us all that life is precious.

  I visited the Web site of the church referenced and found more of the self-centered, rather than God-centered 'ministry'. It's all about 'us' and getting our needs filled. I found nothing directly about the glory of God, which is the reason God does anything - for His own glory. I also did not find any credentials for the pastor (comon in many of the current mega-churches). Sermons built around all sorts of worldly 'entertainments', and apparently designed to briging in the 'unchurched' (lost sinners) who are UNABLE to seek God (Romans 3) and then probably dispensing half the gospel - the love part, which is in fact the 'different gospel' that Paul wrote about in Galations.

  What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
  What can make me whole again? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
  Oh, precious is the flow, that makes me white as snow.
  No other fount I know. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
  
  30 days to a No-Regrets Life? Never heard of it. You can't find it in the Bible, and Christ never advocated seeking it. He did say "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Nothing about a quick-fix formula.
  
  Believers, you need to be wary. Let no one deceive you, including the Mega-churches. They had Mega-churches back in Jesus' day as well. They were called synagogues and the religious establishment had all kinds of rules and formulas for success - "Their way."
  
  Why not try Jesus Way.
  
  What can wash away my sin - Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. A Christian cannot live the Christian life without the shed blood of Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and the filling of the Holy Spirit.. The Cross of Christ is the answer to all our woes, to all our no-regrets.
  
  By grace have you been saved, through faith. It is the gift of God, and not works, lest anyone should boast!!!
  
  REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!!!!!

  A Christian cannot live the Christian life the way God wants him to unless he has made Jesus the Lord of his life.
