This book is incredible! Jen Hatmaker can go from deeply spiritual, make you want to cry out to Jesus, to hilariously sarcastic in about 2 seconds. She is so real that you can totally relate to her. Reading this book has inspired to live my life more like Christ, and to really look at my life and ask myself some tough questions. I will never be the same. Seriously life-changing. I have already shared this book with at least 6 people- I want everyone to read it.

I love "page turners" and this book definitely did not disappoint. I have already passed it on to a friend...to keep the message of "excess" going. I didn't know how Jen Hatmaker's book would relate to me, a Baby Boomer...but the message is loud and clear,
and loved the mental challenge of limiting my life to connect with my fellow planet dwellers in a different way. I laughed. I was challenged. I learned more about God...and myself. And was given a renewed appreciation of the girlfriends God has gifted me! I want to do the Bible Study with them soon.

This book is flat-out fabulous. Jen hits on amazing biblical truths and is convincing without guilt, revealing where our true priorities lie. With humor, sharp wit, and God's grace woven throughout, it had me bawling and rolling laughing, moments apart. This book has messed with me in the most wonderful way, instantly rising to the top of my list of most-beloved books. It is a must read.

Written with humor and honesty, the author shares her journey away from the materialism and excesses that so many of us take for granted and accept as part of our lives and into the presence of a God who truly loves us and wants us to have more than just "stuff." I laughed out loud in parts, but make no mistake, this is not a comedic work. 7 makes me want to get off the consumer treadmill to find peace in a strengthened relationship with God.

Jen's writing style is so enjoyable to read. Jen is real and transparent, I feel I know her after reading her book! Sometimes as Christians we think everyone else has it all together and we're the only one struggling. Jen tells it like it is and shares her shortcomings. Jen's humor and honesty are so refreshing. This book gives you everyday things you can do to serve God by helping others, making it a "way of life" not just a special project. "7" convinced me that less truly is more!

Jen Hatmaker writes like your best friend. Reading this book felt more like a conversation in a coffee shop than a book about fasting. Her humor and honesty puts you at ease, then the spiritual context hits you between the eyes.
I have recommended this book to friends, book clubs and strangers. It puts fasting into a modern perspective without the guilt factor that I was expecting.
Go buy this book. But be careful, it just might rock your world.

I happen to be doing the Beth Moore study on James at the same time I received 7. This is a perfect example of how one person, Jen Hatmaker, began "doing" what the book of James calls us to be doing: taking care of the orphan and widow as well as loving our neighbor as ourselves. With humor and wit, she tells how she applied these principles over seven months. Whether you choose to do it the same way is up to you but it certainly gets the reader thinking about what it means to not just hear the word but do what it says.

This book wasn't what I had expected, but was way better. It is more of a journal of what Jen Hatmaker went through during her 7 experiment, than a how to book. It is full of her humor and jokes. I found it funny and amusing. There are references to TV, Websites, and other things that are very personal preferences. More like talking to a good friend about their life, and how the Lord has affected them. Great read!
