PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestselling author and popular blogger TerKeurst (Made to Crave) tackles a topic that's top of mind for practically every woman: making wise decisions. Regardless of whether a woman spends most of her day in a cubicle or a minivan or both, the list of people and projects vying for her time is endless. TerKeurst's gentle approach reads like a friend commiserating and counseling over latt s. She says that overwhelmed schedules lead to "underwhelmed souls," and then describes the path to developing the discernment to make good choices. She acknowledges that some things about learning to decide wisely are difficult, such as letting go of self-imposed obligations using what TerKeurst calls a "small no" to provide a "Best Yes" to opportunities that require attention and honor God. The only way to recognize those wise opportunities is to stay in "unbroken companionship" with God, the author says. TerKeurst's often self-deprecating humor and ability to be vulnerable, combined with insightful Bible references, make this a book women can relate to in a hundred little ways each day.

Customer Reviews
Loving it so far
I have only read the sampler of this book that equates to 3 chapters and I love what I have read so far. I plan to buy the book as I believe it is a right on time book for this moment of my life. Thank you God for leading me to it and inspiring Lysta to write it. If you are feeling overwhelmed but feel like their is something more that is required and not sure what that is then read the book.
