To Be Perfectly Honest

I just finished reading To Be Perfectly Honest: One Man's Year of Almost Living Truthfully Could Change Your Life. No Lie by Phil Calloway. Knowing he is a comedian I expected this to be lighthearted and humorous, which it was, yet surprisingly it also touched on many serious aspects of life to ponder. In fact there's even discussion questions, to discuss some of the questions that come up in the book, and surprisingly, I could see this being used in a small group.

The book is easy to read and some chapters are more engaging than others. It is written in a journal style, every day a journal entry is written up. Sometimes rather mundane, sometimes strikingly funny.

This is an easy book to read and rather fun. I don't think I'd enjoy reading many books in this style or format, but surprisingly, this one works and is worth reading.

I was provided with a complimentary copy through Waterbrook Multnomah's Blogging for Books program.
