"Be Last"...buy fast!

Mr. Kingsley obviously has captured the essence of the Christian message-- from last to first. He has also communicated this in a down to earth, yet intelligent manner. I was captured by the stories in which he related his dicoveries, particularly, the one about Kingsley's father getting saved through a drapery salesman, becoming a pastor, himself, and now Kingsley explaining to his son, Jaden, his work in the Kingdom as an evangelist. Good stuff. Very readable. Very enjoyable. Very inspiring. Get "Be Last". Buy it fast.

I would especially recommend this for the high school and college age, but let's not leave out the young adult, either. Oh, and the 4 stars? I give the Bible 5.

Worthy

I just finished this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was challenged by Kinglsey's clearly presented biblical picture of greatness (service+humility) and encouraged by the personal stories of his journey.

I've purchased many copies and have begun to give them out to eager recipients. I also plan to use them in my Bible class (high school) next year to supplement my New Testament course.

A life-changing read

"Be Last" by Jeremy Kingsley is as appealing on the outside as on the inside. The front cover drew me to the book immediately. What does an upside down throne really mean? Well, in God's topsy-turvy economy, it means that He doesn't see things the way we see things. And which way really counts when you're trying to live for Him? We must alter our perceptions of what we believe is right and take on God's mindset.

The back cover is equally thoughtful. There is an equation: "Humility + Service = Greatness!" WOW!!! Is this a hint?

The first shall be last. Christ, Himself, first set the example of this kind of living for us. This oxymoron is on of the basic building blocks of how the Christian life is supposed to be lived. Being a humble, selfless servant is not a popular position to hold as a human being. Jesus came to serve. The Ruler of the Universe. Creator. Savior. God. Servant. How can we, His sheep, think we're greater than the Shepherd? If He came to serve, how can we refuse to do so?

This book is full of wonderful scriptures to inspire the reader to greatness by encouraging humility and the development of a servant's heart. "Be Last" is a challenging, life altering read. Even if you only absorb and apply one nugget of truth from this book, it is worth it!

great message from an author who lives it out

In a culture of "being on top no matter the cost" Jeremy Kingsley delivers a much needed message on how to be great through service. I've had the privilege of traveling around the world with Jeremy and have personally experienced his servant heart and genuine humility. God has really used Jeremy to challenge me over the years and I hope that many people check out this book and allow God to speak to them through Jeremy's story as well.

Your Decision

If you are not looking for an incredible tool for understanding the way God wants you to live, then you should have no interest in this book. If you are not interested in understanding who God has called you to be, and how that affects His plans for your life, then you should keep clicking on to something else. If you shy away from being challenged by someone who has stepped up and presented a clear picture for what God desires with your life, then you should not spend your $13 here. Your decision.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

Being a Christian is a radical commitment for each of us. It requires us to be different from what culture tells us to be, to understand Christ's revolutionary ministry. This book will help people see that Jesus calls us to a revolutionary way of life--a life that's counter cultural to our "me-centered" culture. We are called to put Jesus first, others second, and ourselves last.
