 Great lessons for the Christian walk April 26, 2008

When I first saw this book I thought the premise was a bit silly, but as a Christian and a 24 fan, I wanted to give it a try. I'm glad I did because it is one of the best Christian books I have ever read. This is a book to return to in all stages of your Christian walk.

I got this book for my small group Bible Study. We watch the episode, then go through the chapter and answer the discussion questions at the end of the book. It is a fun way to find God's truth in the world around us. The discussion questions are well written, and provide the basis for some great discussion. We very rarely end group on time becuase we are so involved discussing this book.
I highly recomend this book and watching more 24 March 9, 2007

This book not only gives a great overview of 24 season one but gives life values that are related to each episode and gives ways to which you can apply those princeples to your own life.
 Jack Bauer could learn somethings from this book... February 12, 2007
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
One might say that in season one of the television series 24, Jack Bauer was having a bad day. His wife and daughter were kidnapped by terrorists who wished to manipulate Jack into assassinating Senator David Palmer. His ex-girlfriend and trusted co-worker turned out to be a mole and killed his pregnant wife. In the midst of the story line revolving around Jack Bauer, author Tim Wesemann believes there are spiritual truths waiting to be explored.
Jack Bauer's Having a Bad Day is an "investigation" into those spiritual truths to be found in season one. The chapters are divided into 24 "faith truths" ranging from issues of trust, dependence, and integrity. Most chapters begin with a snippet from the 24 plot line before exploring the spiritual implications. At the back of the book is a reader's guide with 5 study questions per chapter for personal or group use.
While not every "faith truth" discussed in the book is obviously present in the plot line, each one bears important insight for Christian living. Tim Wesemann mixes personal stories and skillful writing with a keen perception for spiritual wisdom. Jack Bauer's Having a Bad Day is a witty, fun, and meaningful book that helps to make one of America's favorite shows more edifying.
