Received "Not a Fan" and have been attending a small group study for this book. so very enlightening, challenging for the reader to take inventory of their spiritual life. Author Kyle Idleman keeps the writings simple enough, but spiritually deep enough for the reader to look into their lives and answer Kyle's question, "are you a fan or a follower of Jesus Christ?"

I don't read many books, except the bible but this book was giving to me from a pastor at my church to borrow and i didn't know what i was in for as i began to read this book. this book has convicted me to deeply desire a closer and better relationship with Jesus. like i said this book was given to me and when i was finished i felt the Holy Spirit leading to read it again, so i ordered it from you.

I can't say I am a fan of not a fan. Overall the author's point seems to be that Christians don't live their faith intentionally enough. The pitfall of this lack of intention according to the author is that come judgement day Jesus may say "I never knew you" so you'll end up in hell. Seems to nullify the concept of grace, and focus on sin management and good works as the path to salvation. The author also seems to contradict himself in suggesting on multiple occasions the sacrifices people should be making as Christians, then using bible verses that my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Overall not a book worth purchasing. An easy and slightly interesting read if someone offers you the book outright.
Crazy Love used to be my favorite book, but within a few pages, Not a Fan became my new favorite. Kyle Idleman has perfectly articulated everything I've felt and wished I could say, and it's something no Christian would regret reading. He's straightforward, honest, full of love, and, in every word, points your eyes towards Christ.

Author makes you question how "good" of a Christian you are in a good way. The book makes you accountable for your actions as a Christian. A definite read!
