"Life is full of good intentions, but for too many, our
good intentions never become good actions - they don't move us forward, draw us
closer to God, or make a difference in the world. Good intentions are cans of
paint that could have become amazing works of art... but never did."
-Daniel Ryan Day in Ten Days Without
Ten Days Without is a book about someone who went beyond
good intentions to do something to make a difference. For ten days at a time,
Daniel Day went without a specific "essential" thing in order to
raise awareness for a need. For example, he went without shoes for ten days to
raise awareness for disease. He went ten days without furniture to raise awareness
for poverty. He went ten days without speaking to raise awareness for victims
of human trafficking and slavery. In Ten Days Without, Daniel Day talks about
his experience doing these things and encourages the reader to do a Ten Days Without
experience too.
This book was interesting, inspiring and challenging.
Reading this book really made me think about how much I take for granted and
how many people around the world don't even have things like shoes or coats or
even a voice and it has challenged me. Reading this book has inspired me to do
"Ten Days Without Shoes".
I think that the subtitle sums up this book well:
"Adventures in discomfort that will change your world and you".
Reading this book will change your perspective, raise your awareness and
challenge you to do something about it.
I recommend this book.
Thank you to WaterBrook Multnomah for sending me a free copy
of Ten Days Without in exchange for an honest review.
