More About the Author
Product Description
Christianity Magazine, 2007
Fans of the cult TV show 24 will get into this book instantly. Jack Bauer, the finest field agent at the Counter Terrorism Unit of the US government is cited on page one. This ultimate hero seems to carry the weight of the world on his not inconsiderable shoulders. Saving the President, killing the bad guys and saving the world is all in a days work. But as Krish Kandiah points out (according to TV land) Bauer has never been to the toilet, gone home to bed, had a meal sitting down or run out of battery power on his mobile phone. Bauer is a full-on 24 hour a day agent. Building on this analogy, the author takes a lightning survey of real life which is far away from a scriptwriter's world; work, leisure, family, eating, resting, exercising, shopping and (wait for it) fun. He passes these everyday things through the filter of Scripture with the simple aim of helping us discover what a God-centred life looks like.
In a cliché-free zone, the book suggests practical ways that we can discover a more 24/7 approach to discipleship. It is real, stimulating and designed to make you think about the stuff the makes up the daily diet called life.
I have a hunch that Kandiah is going to write a lot more, and if this book is anything to go by, the church will be enriched by some unique insights into truths that don't have a sell-by date but always benefit from re-packaging.
High:
Short, sharp, easy to read chapters with really useful suggestions.

Twenty- four is AMAZING!
Its a must-read for any one with..a life!
It really helped me get through my 3rd yr at uni (finals and lots of other responsibilites and problems to deal with) Understanding that i had every hr of my life to use to glorify God is a hard lesson, but is TRUE and needs to be practiced and prayed about every day! (every hr!)
I have since passed it on to 1) a friend who was struggling last yr, with prioritising and gettin God into her WHOLE life. 2) a full time mum of two (under 2 yr olds!) who cant seem to find time for God (but the book helped amazingly) and 3) 3 friends who have just started full-time work and who feel they are rushing around and compartmentalising God in their lives more than ever. They are reading it now and its great to see them experiencin more of God in their everyday lives :)
I dont know anyone who doesnt like the book. Rather, they hold on to it every day- if even just to remind them to keep seekin God in every hr of life!
Buy it now! do it!
God uses it to help u love Him more, every hr of every day, in every thing you do, "christian" or "normal"- all for God's glory!!

I really loved this book. It is a hugely enjoyable read and has an impressively substantial content. Krish has written this book to help the reader integrate faith into every area of life looking at activities such as leisure, work, commuting, exercise, shopping and sleeping. He provides a penetrating analysis culminating in a helpful practical conclusion at the end of each chapter. As a pastor I have recommended this to people in my church as an invaluable tool to enable them to have a Christian world-view and to live out their faith in contemporary society.

One of the best books on how to live for Christ in our everyday lives I've read! The chapters are a breakdown of an acerage day, and Krish talks in detail, in his informal and easy to read style, on how we make make God number 1 in that area of our lives. There are great little sections at the end giving pieces of music and other books from both Christian and Secular society to stimulate further thought and ideas on what we could do in that area of the day.
I would say that for any christian who is serious about taking their faith further, and drawing closer to God in their everyday, it is a great read...for me it was a must!
