Book Review: I Am Not, but I Know I Am:

 
I Am Not, but I Know I Am: Welcome to the Story of God
By: Louie Giglio


Louie Giglio is the guy who helped bring me my most favorite band ever, David Crowder Band, and many other great artist like Chris Tomlin. He has spent a lot of time investing in young adults in the world of college. I have heard that Louie is a great speaker and usually has some interesting things to say. This book, I Am Not, but I Know I Am: Welcome to the Story of God, I found to be very disapointing. 


Lets start with the fact that it was just boring. Nothing really grabbed my attention or seemed profound to me. Maybe it was his delivery but it just didn’t keep my attention very well. The premis of the book is to help you realize your place with God and that God is the Great I Am, everything is him and he is everything. I was amazed that he could draw this topic out for so long. 


The book never really picked up and seemed disorganized. I found it hard to keep relating his thoughts to what his point was. His examples and illustrations were lacking. Now don’t let this stop you from reading the book I could be very wrong and this is all a personal opinion. 


There were some good things in the book. It does a great job addressing how God is the Great I Am. Beyond that it doesn’t say much else. 


So give this book a read and let me know what you think. Am I wrong? Should I read it again?
