The book points out five big areas in which the reader can live out their Chazown: your relationship with God, your relationship with people, your financial health, your physical health and your life’s work.
The visual layout of the book is very pleasing, capturing the attention of readers. Chazown does not overwhelm the reader with pages of solid text, but instead includes several pictures and symbols that reflect the main theme of each chapter. The text in the book is not only black, but also green, a color used throughout the book. Key thoughts and verses in the book are in bold larger text, which helps the reader understand the significance of the phrase.
Chapters are short. At several points the book asks the reader to be the author by offering questions for discussion and encouraging the reader to prayerfully consider answers and record them in a journal for future reference. Certain copies of the book also come with a DVD containing LifeChurch.tv videos that further invite readers to pursue their Chazown.
Anyone looking for purpose in life or encouragement to live life to the fullest will benefit from Chazown. Though, how much a person benefits is up to them. Because Chazown is an easy and quick read, many important topics can be overlooked. The more time and thought you put into grasping the concepts Groeschel presents in his book, the fuller understanding you will gain.
Taking advantage of all the extras in the book, such as the discussion questions and DVD, greatly enriches the reading experience. Chazown does what it promises, after reading you will see your life differently. But what you do with it is up to you.
