I was very excited to get an early review copy of this book but was honestly a little let down by the content. In theory this was an interested book to affirm that we are human, we have limits, we cannot do all of the things and we don't actually have to. I think it just didn't add much new or interesting content or narratives.

This is a great read and one that is apropos to our time. We all need to accept our limited human capacity and become more reliant on God! This book blends humor, research, theology and practical wisdom in a way that makes it easily digestible and practically helpful.

In Sean McGever's book The Good News of Our Limits we are encouraged and invited to embrace and accept our limits and humanity. In accepting and embracing these limits it can help us to live healthier and a less stressful life and point to how much we trust God. I struggled with the first few chapters getting started and into the book. I was distracted by the stories and examples in the beginning of the book and found my mind wandering. I found myself looking for a little more substance in the first chapters but I continued reading and the book picked up in the middle and end chapters. The first chapters show us where we are limited as humans in comparison to God. Then Sean discusses our limits such as faithful practices, circles of friends, and information. In these chapters the author gives ways that we can make better decisions and use of our limits in our relationship and service for God and His Kingdom. The last chapters discuss how we have a partnership with God,  participate in His Kingdom plans, and cooperate as the Church to accomplish these plans. The very last chapter discuss staying in our own lane and fulfilling our particular role. This book is easy to read and I did find it to be enjoyable and informative even after my initial struggle to get interested and focused on the material. I recommend this book to everyone as a source of understanding our limits, finding our purpose, and using our limits to fulfill our purpose. I received an advanced copy of this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
