What Others Are Saying About "How To Keep Your Head On Straight In A World Gone Crazy"
John Bevere
Christ followers, especially leaders, if you are holding this
book, please heed its exhortation to preach the whole counsel of God. My dear friend, Rick Renner, has not kept silent about this crucial matter. I’m so thrilled you’re holding this message in your
hands, because Rick not only demystifies the cloud of confusion, exposing the enemy’s traps — he provides the solution to overcome them. Rick does a remarkable job of calling the Church back to the authoritative voice of the Scriptures so that we can
experience what Rick has coined-a revival of the Bible!

Daniel Kolenda
Rick Renner is right on time with How To Keep Your Head on Straight in a World Gone Crazy. It will help you navigate the challenging new moral
landscape that has many believers frustrated and confused. Instead of keeping you on the defense, it will equip you to be more than a conqueror as you represent Jesus well in a lost and dying world.
9/2019
Bob Yandian
This book is a must for all ministers and believers in these last days we are all living in.
9/2019
Terri Copeland Pearsons
As Rick speaks the truth in love in How To Keep Your Head on Straight in a World Gone Crazy, real hope, real help, and real believing rise to reveal how weak, ungodly, and dangerous worldly thinking is. This is the kind of help we all need to walk in the power of holiness — for ourselves and for those around us who must be snatched out of the fire before the door of the age closes.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024Rick Renner is one of my favorite authors, and this book is another example of his relationship with God. He inspires, encourages, informs, and explains God's heart! This book is a must-read for every Christian.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024This is an amazing book full of so much needed incite and information for us today in this world that we are living…….we ARE living in the End Times. This book is right on time!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2025I love Rick Renner’s book, and this one doesn’t disappoint. We definitely need a revival of the Bible in our country, or homes and families, and the church.
But we are reminded in this book that we are not just called to shake our heads in wonder, but are called to play a part in reversing the works of the enemy.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023Our ladies are doing a Bible study using this book. It’s very relevant to todays world and the times we are living in
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024It does seem our world has gone crazy, especially for those of us who grew up in the 1970s and 80s. Of course, this is all expected but Bible prophecy. This book deals with how we as Christians should be during this times and watch for deception in the church. Seeking discernment and restoring folks to the truth.
Renner does a good job of breaking down bible verses in the context of the Greek meaning of words. This study as it seems is a good accompaniment to bible study.
The only downside would be the repetitiveness, especially at the beginning, but can see how saying the same or similar thing over and over is to drive home a point.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2020I love Rick's books. He goes deep into the original text and paints pictures in your mind.
Rick mentioned his book "How to Keep Your Head on Straight in a World Gone Crazy." This book helped me to understand that the people spouting all the craziness today -- things completely opposite of what they had always believed -- are now actually believing the lies they now stand on. Plus, Rick shows us that the Bible told us thousands of years ago that this would happen at the end of the age.
Thank you, Rick Renner!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020THIS BOOK WILL INFORM YOU TRUTHFULLY ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND HOW TO RESPOND THE THE WORLD CHANGES AT THIS TIME AND WILL PREPARE YOU FOR WHAT IT TO OCCUR! A MUST BOOK TO READ AND LIVE! NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS AND ONLY THE LORD WILL REVERAL TO YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AND BE! PRAISE THE LORD!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020Must read for all Christians. We must be more aware of what Satan is doing in our world everyday. We must draw strength from our God to ward off Satan's attempts to change our Christian values in these, the last days. Pray for strength and guidance! Scripture references support his text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book and excellent customer service
This review is not for the book itself, but for admin purposes.
I recently bought and downloaded a defective Kindle version of this book. I tried to return it but the system wouldn't let me. When I contacted customer service they were so helpful and remedied the situation immediately.
If the same thing happens to you, contact customer service and they will send an updated version of the book.
This book has been on my wishlist for awhile and am so happy I now have a copy I can dig into.

Very informative considering the times we are in. Rick Renner is very exact in his descriptions and can lead you through the scriptures to prove to you what is happening in the world we are currently experiencing. Well worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rick's analysis is wise and his guidance is real.
Rick Renner is a high level wise thinker. He knows which way is up, and which way is needed to be taken to keep sane as a Christian in this manic world.
A brilliant study that brings hope .
Mud all around but a steady rock to stand on means we don't sink. You need a copy .
