Yawning at Tigers: You Can't Tame God So Stop Trying by Drew Dyck

I am encouraged by the number of books appearing lately regarding recognizing the power of God. Yawning at Tigers is one such book. We can become so "churched" that we forget we are worshipping and serving the God who created the universe. In this selection Dyck reminds us of His power. If you are looking for a book that will challenge you to take bolder steps in your faith walk, this is one you don't want to miss.  

I found this selection full of biblical truths and modern day examples of how God continues to move in the lives of those who serve Him. One of my favorite examples given in the book of how God pursues us is the reference to the movie Taken.  The author weaves many current media examples into sharing how God wants to operate in our lives. Dyck did an excellent job in posing questions to cause me to examine my boldness in my personal walk with God. Many parts in the book caused me to stop and reflect on the subject matter.  

I would definitely recommend this book for a personal or group study. The discussion guide at the end of the book is great for either time alone in reflection or with others.
