Book Review: Do It For A Day by Mark Batterson

I found this book at Hobby Lobby on clearance. What a shame. This book is extraordinary. It’s all about forming good habits and breaking bad ones. Batterson’s thesis is simple. Do it for a day! It’s the old proverb, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time” fleshed out in wonderful ways. Combining scriptural stories with stories of more modern people with plenty of examples, Batterson writes a useful, instructive and highly relatable book. Following his own format, the book is designed to be read a chapter a day, which is essentially how I read it, and as a result I have already done some work on a few of my habits and learned a lot in the process. This thing is inspiring. Pick up your copy ASAP, as a matter of face, do it today.
