Ronnie Floyd’s Our Last Great Hope was difficult for me to review. It wasn’t that I couldn’t decided whether or not I liked the book, I was more conflicted with the way in which the information, which I found to be great, was presented. If you read Floyd’s welcoming pages in the beginning of this text, he says right off the bat that this is meant to be a book about action, not theory. I was intrigued with this idea almost immediately. I’ve read a lot of books where the authors talk about making change and why it needs to be done, but very few authors have the courage and/or the know-how to actually call his or her readers to action.
Before reading the book, I skimmed through it just so I would have an idea of what I would be expecting as I journeyed through the pages of Floyd’s mind. I found the topics of action great, and I was excited to begin reading. Here is where I became conflicted. I consider myself to be a person of action, so I didn’t feel called to it through Floyd’s text; I felt like I was reading something I already practice myself. I can’t give this book 5 stars because it wasn’t anything new to me. BUT, if you feel the need for inspiration to act, then you might find the time you spend reading this book to be beneficial.
Good luck!
