Naked and Unafraid by Kevin Gerald

Naked and Unafraid is based on the Bible story of King David dancing naked in the streets while he wife criticizes him from a window. Through this book I learned that David wasn't actually naked when he was dancing--but he was minus his kingly robes. I also learned a lot of helpful tips for doing life and relationships a better.

Naked and Unafraid is divided in to 5 sections: Risk Exposure, Abandon Smallness, Push Past Criticism, Own Your Story, and Fight For Your Future. Each sections has four chapters. Each chapter has a handful of study questions at the end--making this an excellent book to use for small group discussions, besides reading it on your own.

Naked and Unafraid is the second book that I have read and reviewed by Kevin Gerald. I liked his book, Good Things because it was encouraging, uplifting and centered on the Bible. I had hoped that this book would be too and I was glad to discover that it is all of those things too. Gerald used a lot of Bible stories and stories of people he knew personally to offer examples and then advice on handling tough things like criticism and stress. Gerald shares how it is risky to be vulnerable by opening up to others with either our words or our actions in doing things we feel God calls us to do. The reality is that could be criticized with either way but we will likely not regret doing what God has called us to do in this world. Gerald also gives a lot of good tips on handling criticism and how to deal with critics. I especially liked this part. All in all, I think Naked and Unafraid would be an encouraging book to almost anyone who would read it.

I received this book from the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own. #sponsoredbyfaithwords
