“In Honestly, Johnnie Moore is essentially asking you to put up or shut up, get on board or get out of the way. And I guarantee, when you’re finished with this book, you’re going to do one or the other.”--(

Johnny Hunt
“Johnnie Moore is one of Christianity's most promising next-generation leaders. This disarming and deeply personal book calls weary Christians to trade in their doubts and facades for a more alive commitment to Christ. In his trademark style, Johnnie doesn't dodge the difficult questions. He speaks openly about our real life struggles with life's big issues. In the end, he helps us fix what's broken, and paints a vision of what could happen if the global church actually chose to do what they say they believe. If applied, this book could change the world, literally.”--(

Jud Wilhite
“Johnnie Moore issues a fantastic call to authentic life and faith. If more people heeded the message of this book, there would be a lot less disillusionment in our culture and churches and a lot more hope. His conversational style comes across powerfully as he shares from his own life how we can all seek to live our faith honestly.”

Gary Chapman
“Most of us are looking for authenticity. We’re turned off by people who talk big and don’t deliver. That is especially true when it comes to the subject of religion. Johnnie Moore has given us an honest, believable book on what the Christian lifestyle is all about. I highly recommend it.”--(

Wess Stafford
“It is safe to assume that many of us have shaped our current view of God from past experiences, fears, disappointments, and frustrations ... all of which can hinder an accurate understanding of God's purposes, his heart for this hurting world, and his invitation for us to be part of what he's doing in it. In this new book, Johnnie Moore shares his own journey to spiritual health through humorous and touching stories, and challenges us to really live what we believe! As a champion for children in poverty for more than 30 years, I encourage you to read this book, check your own spiritual pulse, find a passion that can move you to tears within 30 seconds, and then pour yourself into that ministry!”--(

“Do yourself a favor and read this book—every word of it. It's what you've been searching for. In fact, it's almost eerie. In Honestly, Johnnie just addresses what you've probably been thinking. It's like you just bore your soul to him over coffee. This is precisely what makes him such an important leader, speaker, and author. Johnnie confronts the issues we face head-on and brings them into focus with a kind of truth that is practical and dripping with compassion. Honestly is provocative and challenging. It is, most of all, healing.”--(

Gary R. Habermas
“Each generation needs a book that will knock their socks off, stated in their own jargon, without someone else telling them how it should be said. Other books did it in the past, but this isn’t then. As I read through Johnnie Moore’s Honestly, it occurred to me that this could be that book for this generation. It exhibits the earmarks of a revolutionary text, growing out of personal pain and doubt, but still moving forward to victory through Jesus Christ. This book could well become a benchmark for our young adults.”

Dave Stone
“Honestly is chapter after chapter of practical advice for every Christian. Johnnie Moore’s strong rebuke of hypocrisy, coupled with his challenge to genuine Christianity will cause you to take an unsettling inward look at your own faith. You may not need such a challenge —but I do. These pages focus on the priorities of being a Christ follower. Don’t be fooled by his age—Johnnie Moore is not the voice of the future; he’s the voice of the present.”--(
