Win The Day: 7 Daily habits to help you stress less and accomplish more

A review of this book was compiled by:

Mark Manley

A summary of this book:

Mark Batterson deals with a subject that has been dealt from a secular perspective by other authors, the most famous being Steven Covey and his book "Seven Habits of highly effective people". But this book is not that, at all. I remember having to read Steven Covey's book and then attend a training course on it, being the guinea pig to evaluate the course and book for the company I was part of at that time - it was a good book and a good course, but this book, Win the Day, so far outstrips that book as due to the subject matter, as well as being presented from a biblical perspective.

What did you like about the book?

I love the writing of Mark Batterson - this is the 3rd book of his I have read. The style of writing is incredibly engaging, rich with stories and testimonies, and very real - you find yourself identifying with the life scenarios Batterson talks about, and you get such good grasp of the habits he puts forward, and they make such common sense.

What did you not like about this book?

Nothing

Who would benefit most from reading this book?

Everyone - I wish I'd read this book 30 years ago, or even just before I'd gone to university. But saying that it doesn't matter your age, the book is relevant at any age, and will be transforming to all readers, if they take note of the lessons Batterson unpacks throughout the book.

Do you recommend this book?

Yes, without reservation!

If someone reads this book, they should be aware of the following...

You might want to / have to read it twice.
