Goliath Must Fall: Winning the Battle Against Your Giants By Louie Giglio Book Review

In Goliath Must Fall, Louie Giglio explored the Biblical story of David and Goliath and how Jesus can help us to slay the giants in our life. The giants can be anything from rejection, fear, anger, addictions, and anything that has power of your life. Louie Giglio shared his own personal struggle with anxiety and depression. He went to numerous doctors to help him try and sleep. Louie wanted to control everything and he wanted approval from others. When he first built his church, he wanted to please everyone and make sure everyone was happy. He realized he had a few giants he had to overcome where he could move forward with his life. One of the important aspects of the book is how critical it is to worship God and how focusing on Him makes our giant smaller. When Louie began to praise God, he finally found peace and healing. He would have to constantly remind himself that whatever problem he was facing he was giving it to God. 

I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who is ready to worship their way out of the giant’s schemes. One of my favorite chapters was the chapter entitled, “A Table in the Presence”. This chapter talked about the importance of not giving the devil a seat at your table. The devil will always reinforce what we aren’t and never will be. He likes to tell us lies where we are discouraged and broken. I liked how Louie Giglio suggested to read Psalms 23 for forty days and forty nights. This passaged reminds us that the Lord is our shepherd and how he can refresh our souls. When we encounter dark valleys, He is with us through it all. The Lord prepares a table for us in front of our enemies and we will always live with Him.

The Comeback: It’s Not Too Late and You’re Never Too Far by Louie Giglio Book Review

In The Comeback, Louie Giglio explored how to have a comeback from setbacks from life. We have all fallen down and faced hardships and encountered disappointments. In this book, he walks readers how God still has great plans for our lives and we can have a comeback! Throughout the book, he shared stories from his life, other people lives, and Biblical stories. Some of the stories included: Noah, Moses, Joseph, Jesus, Peter, and much more. 

One of Louie Giglio’s stories was about a Passion conference in 2003. There was a massive storm and the venue was outside. They prayed that that the rain and storm would stop. It continued while they prayed and the storm didn’t stop until 5 p.m. the day of the conference. They still had twenty-three thousand people show up to worship God. A couple thousands of people didn’t even of making the event and they ended up running short of their financial goal – a hundred thousand dollars short. The following Saturday, they attended a wedding and some guy collected money around the room and they were able to make up the money exactly. They also suffered another fall and they needed another seventy-five thousand dollars to make their operating expenses. A friend from another city randomly called him and found a check that was supposed to arrive three weeks ago and it just resurfaced. It amazing covered the whole amount! Their prayers were answered!

I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is looking for a comeback and they are ready to live again. This book is for people who have faced a dead marriage and relationship, suffering financially hardship, overworked and underpaid at your job, unhappy with how your life is going, and struggling with an addiction. You can have a comeback story from whatever life has thrown you. I especially love how real Louie Giglio was in looking at Lazarus story and how we all wonder the question as to why did God make him sick in the first place. And the answer scriptures tells us in John 11:4 that it is for His glory. Louie reminded us that Lazarus still eventually died and the greatest comeback of our lives will be when we are raised up with Christ and Christ’s power freed us from death and our sins. This is an amazing book about finding the strength and relying on God and being ready for the greatest comeback that Jesus wants to give you!
