Book Review: Enough by Will Davis Jr


At various times in my life, the song Enough (Chris Tomlin & Louie Giglio) has been an important reminder. So, when the opportunity to review the book of the same name by Will Davis, Jr. appeared, I felt it would be a good way to focus on that theme again. While it was not the topic/theme I initially thought, it was an exceptionally challenging book that I would recommend to every Christian for reading.

The basic thesis of the book is that we as North American Christians have way more than enough resources, and rather than continue to collect them, we should be sharing these with the multitudes of people around the world with far less than enough. Davis clearly accomplishes his goal of challenging North American Christians to reexamine their priorities in light of this imbalance through statistics (minimal), compelling stories, and biblical teaching.

Each chapter is bite-size with appropriate questions at the end that could be useful for group study. A well-written book and easy-to-read, Davis also demonstrates the biblical truth that those who sow generously will reap the rewards many times over (though as he clearly points out, that should not be the motivation). Davis also shares testimonies from other people, presumably from people he knows from Austin Christian Fellowship, that illustrate the concept of each chapter.

The truth is it is very difficult to find anything negative to say about this book.
