Andy Stanley
Book Description
We've all done dumb stuff in our lives. We all have regrets. Yet none of us plans to mess up our lives. Why, then, does it keep happening? Life doesn't have to be that way. You can fool-proof your life...as this book shows. God's promise and pattern is for something better. In The Best Question Ever, Andy Stanley effectively teaches the practical and lasting value of simply asking this question about our actions in all of life's arenas: What is the wise thing for me to do, in light of my past experience, my present circumstances, and my future hopes and dreams? This book probes for honesty - it pushes us to open our eyes to reality and helps us expose the little (and big) self-deceptions we have.
Jim's Thoughts
I had heard Andy preach a sermon on this topic and wanted to see how it was expressed in book form. What I liked was "The Question" itself, which is "In light of my past, present and hopes, what is the wise thing for me to do in any given situation?". All will like the stories and analogies that illustrate the importance of slowing down long enough to ask the question and to consider the answer.
