If you see life as your own one-act play and history as your story, you could be in for a rude awakening when the curtain finally closes on your tiny tale—and you discover that life wasn’t all about you after all. The real story of life is God—I AM—the main character and true star of time and eternity. He is at center stage in all of Creation, and He wants you to know Him by name. Knowing I AM means celebrating your smallness in light of His greatness. Embrace the true meaning of life as you learn to work and rest in His power, spending your life for what lasts forever—the unending glory that is God’s alone.

"Absolutely wonderful book. It is a very short read. Originally I picked up this book while at a friends house because I was curious what the book could be about, I ended up reading the entire book in less than two hours. Wonderful read, I would highly, highly recommend it."

" Very short read. Amazing book. "
— Oswald, 2/13/2014" Sensational book! Just as Louie says with a big grin on his face, "I'm not trying to make you feel small. I'm showing you that you ARE small!" "
— Sarah-jane, 2/5/2014" Really liked it. I really needed it at this time, and it talked about issues I am going through right now. I am always amazed at how God uses people, books, TV, and other things to speak to us at exactly the right time! "
— Sam, 2/1/2014" I listened to this book on the way home from Kansas. I just wanted to stop the car so I could take notes. It is an awesome 3 hour Bible study! "
— LaRae, 1/26/2014" It is by Louie.......nuff said "
— Kenneth, 1/21/2014" What a great reminder by Louie! This book is challenging my thinking about who God is and who I am not. "
— Adam, 1/16/2014" It is relieving to know that we are not God, and that God cares enough to add us to his story. "
— Cole, 1/15/2014" I love this book. Louis Giglio keeps things simple yet challenging. His passion is easily seen as you read through his points. "
— Cj, 1/6/2014" I am currently reading this book. What I have gleaned from it thus far is the single word Scripture study. Amazing. "
— Risa, 12/13/2013" Giglio's message of understanding how tiny our place is in the universe is a good one...unfortunately I had the persistetnt impression that he had dragged a 20 minute sermon into a 100 page book, without adding much substance. Seemed to be more appropriately written for young adults/teens. "
— Letitia, 12/11/2013" Typical Louie - pointing to God, and hammering home the same thought. It is a good reminder for me, and not a coincidence that I finally got around to reading it while in the islands. "
— Jill, 9/10/2013" A great simple look at who God is. "
— Trace, 8/16/2013" a good reminder about how to live a life of significance. "
— Anna, 6/8/2013" So far, this is one of my favorite books ever! "
— Karen, 5/19/2013" This book is along the same lines as Crazy Love and as such I'd recommend Crazy Love over this one. However, it's a very quick and short read and I was able to glean some nuggets from it. "
— Cindy, 8/23/2012" This is mind altering to me--I will need to reread it to grasp it entirely. "
— Ellie, 6/9/2012" Louie lovingly puts us in our place, focusing on the holiness of God and our relationship and standing with Him. "
— Tyler, 12/17/2011" Absolutely LOVE this man. He's been one of my absolute favorite speakers ever since hearing him at Baylor in the 90s. "
— Kay, 11/29/2011" I thought this book was great. He explained a lot. Others say it's annoyingly repetitive but I think it's repetitive in good, non-dull way. This books message is life changing. "
— Seth, 11/9/2011" Very quick read but has some wonderful ideas about a God that is bigger than we could ever imagine. "
— Katy, 8/19/2011" Some parts of this book I found informative and uplifting. However, there were parts that I got lost and just couldn't really understand where the author was going. I think I would have enjoyed it more if there wasn't so much jumping around. "
— Brittany, 7/14/2011" I forgot I read this prbly in 2008 or so. I think I actually enjoyed it a little more than I expected, but I don't rememeber gaining anything really from the read. Nothing to profound. Maybe I'll go back and see if I had any underlines/notes. "
— David, 2/22/2011" I forgot I read this prbly in 2008 or so. I think I actually enjoyed it a little more than I expected, but I don't rememeber gaining anything really from the read. Nothing to profound. Maybe I'll go back and see if I had any underlines/notes. "
