What if you told God you would do anything . . . and he took you up on it? Jennie Allen, founder of If: Gathering, shares the prayer that changed everything. *Now with Bible study questions In the years since the initial release of Anything, God continued to stretch Jennie Allen and her faith because of the courageous prayer of surrender that she and her husband, Zac, prayed, "God, we will do anything. Anything." Previously caught in the dizzying haze of worldly happiness and empty pursuits, Jennie went on to begin living out the adventure God had written for them--to include becoming the founder of IF: Gathering, an organization to gather, equip, and unleash the next generation to live out their purpose. Anything is a prayer of surrender that will spark something. A prayer that will move you to stop chasing things that just make you feel happy and start living a surrendered life that matters. This newly revised edition is updated throughout to include a new introduction and an in-depth Bible study component for those who have been wanting to lead a study on this topic. Join Jennie on an adventure to discover your anything, those things that actually mean nothing until you know the God truly worth giving it all up for. And when you do, that will change everything. Anything is also available in Spanish, Lo que me pidas.

I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.
Jennie Allen has a beautiful passion for God. I love how she makes herself transparent so that she can be relatable to her readers, but I believe that it's her boldness in her calls to action that really caused me to love this book.
As I read, I wanted to underline and highlight pretty much every sentence! It was that good! Her passion is evident in her writing and her faith is real. Jennie touches on several different topics but for the most part she is telling us how and why should abandon the ordinary, in order that we may obtain the extraordinary. And the only way to do that is through prayer.
She tells her personal story in a way that is an example and not a “look at me” haute attitude. And I really just enjoyed getting to know her heart as well as discovering what prayer means to me personally.
So, overall, I am rating Anything by Jennie Allen, 5 out of 5 stars and encourage you to pick up this book for a devotional, Bible study, or even a gift to a friend; it is an excellent book.
