I love this book! I was blessed to receive an advance copy of Michael Jr.'s book. He is very funny but also very inspirational. He writes about how we can find humor and good lessons in every situation. You will be blessed with this book. It will make you stop and think that not everything that doesn't work in your life is a bad thing... it can be used for good... especially when we let God in our lives. He talks about life before being a Christian and after. Also about his youth and adulthood. Every time finding that there is a lesson to be learned if we only look for it! Here are a few quotes to inspire you and to encourage you in your daily lives. But trust me. There are so many more wonderful quotes and thoughts in this book. You need to buy your copy today! You will be blessed when you read it!

"Have you ever found yourself disappointed? Unappreciated? Or that life wasn’t fair or your goal was just out of reach? You may feel like giving up… but maybe you should think of this… Maybe something deeper is happening through the struggle… perhaps you’re learning a lesson that is preparing you for something else down the road. Then you can look back and realize the struggle was preparing you for something better. Embrace the struggle. Learn from it."

"When you step up and step out there will be days when you face opposition. But when circumstances come against you- don’t give up. Your Heavenly Father stands up for you.
You can be the voice that saves someone’s life"

"The question isn’t- will an opportunity present itself. The question is- what will you do when it does?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly inspiring and funny
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024
This book is a down-to-earth true story of Michael Jr's journey as a comedian and how it led him to Christianity. He tells his story in a humorous way making it fun to read. I actually laughed out loud at times. As the book goes on, the stories become more intense and inspiring. Very interesting book. I wish I could meet him and see his stand-up act. He seems like a great guy and very funny. I do recommend this book for light reading with thought provoking value.

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2023
We weren’t sure what to expect when the book was recommended to us, however we know now we were blessed by having the opportunity to read it. It’s a great book and well worth the read! In addition, it’s challenging to find a humorous book that doesn’t have cuss words in it and the author does a tremendous job getting a very heart warming message across to the reader. Highly recommend it!

The heart filled stories in Michael Jr.‘s life helped all of us to realize that our words and our actions are an example to others of Jesus. Michael Junior makes this very apparent in all his stories.

I read this book while visiting my daughter. Loved it! I left it with her to read. Now, I am buying one for my husband to read. I heard Michael at Willowcreek Church, then bought his book. Loved hearing him speak and his book is just as inspirational with a twist of humor. Good bless you Michael!
