Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-19 00:00:00 Jason Mann What a book! What a simple concept. What a beautiful analogy. What a life-affiming conclusion. What a book! The concept is simple. We all go through our long lives collecting garbage... regrets; worn-out concepts; petty grievances; frustrations that just won't go away. We're loaded down! We're sinking! The analogy is beautiful. It's finally garbage day, but we're about to miss it - we're finally getting some much-needed sleep. Then there's a patient yet insistent knock on the door. We grumpily stumble up to it and open it. It's a smiling young man in a spanking new uniform. He politely asks us if we've missed the garbage collection - he'd be pleased to take it off our hands! The conclusion is exultantly life-affIrming. Of course, the garbage man is God. HE wants to take the awful load off our backs. And HE wants to recycle our garbage, get our stale old life Up and Running again - and turn us into A NEW PERSON. And only HE can do it... *** Well, you say - all that's well and good, but what about the garbage that's Around us - ALL AROUND THE WORLD? Good point. And that reminds me of my OWN story... When I became a full-fledged adult fifty years ago, I was appalled at how low people around me had started to stoop. 'Well, welcome to the real world, kid - and YOU've just only started to wake up to your OWN garbage!' You see, the world around us is not always nice - but we can NEVER get defensive about our OWN goodness. Cause our own moral entropy never sleeps! But I didn't know that, so I started to scratch EVERYWHERE beneath the surface for hidden scandals. There I was, a shallow kid out to reform the world! And guess what? I was repeatedly bludgeoned back into my little corner. Naturally. Over and over again. Until I was a mere shadow of myself. Why? Well, remember what F.D.R. said? 'We have seen the Enemy and he is US!' I had, quite simply, been constructing an Ivory Tower over my vast personal Mountains of Garbage. I was my own worst enemy. And I - all on my own - nearly ruined my life because of it. But I was one of the lucky ones. I was laid so low, I had to look Up. And seek the only Real Help possible! And that's the Good News... Yes, Lucado is right. It's Garbage Day - thank Heaven. Just let Him take it all off your back! He'll simplify your life: Like He did for me.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-16 00:00:00 Corey Mead This is a super-easy read that could easily get completed during one sitting in probably thirty minutes or less. Wanted to re-read this booklet before donating to the neighborhood book box. In spite of its size, the material was convicting and a great reminder of how baggage can subtly accumulate and weigh us down. Our Great Shepard and Lord took our baggage on the cross so we could live free through Him. Once we give our junk to Jesus, don't take it back again. Utter foolishness! Whether our burden is anger, hatred, bitterness, or (fill in the blank), Jesus wants us to live free by taking that stuff on Himself. This booklet is filled with Scripture references in order to refer back to God's Word. Please check out this awesome reading material.
