Book Review of JUMP by Efrem Smith


Efrem Smith is a well-respected Christian leader and speaker. Having built a reputation as an inspiring and well-grounded youth ministry leader and church planter, he focuses his attention to writing a book called JUMP about strong, aggressive, and passionate faith.



Much of the book is based on the metaphor of a leap of faith, and the example of the leaping ability of the impala. The impala can jump well over 10 feet in the air, but refuses to jump over the 3 foot wall that encloses their station at the zoo? Why don't the impala jump? And what does that have to do with how live and understand a leap of Christian faith? JUMP will help you sort all of these issues.

I was impressed in the balance of Efrem Smith's focus. This book contains a lot of content about both the relational aspects of faith and the missional direction of living a faith-filled life.

I would recommend this book to anyone needing inspiration, and courage for their Christian journey.
