Title: The Wager by Bill Myers, Michael T. Steel ISBN: 0-310-24873-6 Publisher: Zondervan Pub. Date: November, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $9.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (4 reviews)

Summary: Thought-provoking.
Comment: This combination of the Book of Job and the Sermon on the Mount worked surprisingly well. Myers doesn't fall into cliches or easy answers. It's a bit of an odd idea to combine a novel and a bible study, but if you're not interested in the Bible study, you don't have to do it. It might be interesting. But the book works well as a book without it.
The only thing that I didn't care for was the ending, which seemed a bit unrealistic. I don't want to give away too much so I will only say that the career change didn't seem necessary. However, the character of Steele was well-done, the book was funny and the idea of trying to live by the Sermon on the Mount is certainly a good one. I would read more by this author.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Bill Myers did an amazing work putting this short novel together; a fast-paced yet easy flowing story with believable characters and a plot right out of today's headlines.
The Sermon on the Mount has broken the backs of many well-meaning Christians. This book does such a good job of describing the struggle for most followers of Christ that I loved every paragraph, from beginning to end. If you love reading C.S. Lewis, Frank Peretti, or Randy Alcorn, you'll love reading this great story by Mr. Myers.
This is now my favorite work by Bill Myers.
Rating: 5
Summary: Brilliant Work - Extreme Success
Comment: Few authors are capable of handling what Bill Myers has accomplished with extreme success. The Wager is both a gripping novella and a study in Christian living. Most Bible teachers are not good story tellers and most authors are not good teachers. Myers excels at both. Opening with an enticing page from a screenplay, casting believable characters within the compromising world of Hollywood, Myers forces the reader to consider extremes. If the protagonist Michael T. Steele can live out the teachings of Jesus Christ in corrupt Hollywood, than anyone can. The story is brilliant. The teaching is creative and challenging. The thought provoking questions and dialog compel readers to consider eternal ponderables in light of our confusing and often misguided culture. Undoubtedly, this is a five star book.
