Why I picked itMy boss gave me this book for Christmas because he absolutely loved it. I liked the idea of picking up another "self-improvement" book, and since it has nature and plants on the cover, I thought it would be a good pick for herbology for #OWLsReadathon2019! summaryJonathan David Golden talks through how to find your purpose in life. He discusses how to realize where your passions lie, how to surround yourself with the right people to make those passions a reality, and he does it all while reminding Christians that you need to follow God's plan and timing rather than forcing your own. what I likedWow. This book took very little time for me to read. I loved it. I think that Golden brought up a ton of great topics. Through I'm pretty young, I've already started to learn that God's timing truly is perfect, and I need to watch and listen. Golden brings this up a lot in his writing. He also helped confirm that a lot of times you just need to pay attention to the inklings you have and intuitions. A lot of times, this may be how God speaks to you: through your thoughts, passions, and talents. God has created you for a reason, and you just need to pay attention to see what it is and follow it. what I didn't likeThis book is mostly opinion, I think. Though I agree with a majority of it, it really isn't based in scripture, which is where I like to base a lot of my decisions if possible. So, I'm not saying Golden is wrong, but I'm also not saying he's totally right. I know that the devil also likes to speak to us, and sometimes he can do a good job of making us think that his voice is really God's. I also know that sometimes our own desires go before God's in our brains, and so we may think that an inkling is happening, when really that isn't God's plan for us. overall impression🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟5/5 stars.
I really did love this book. It confirmed a lot of my own thoughts on the subject, which was nice. I also really liked the various story about Golden's journey so far as well.
