Nothing gets our attention like an unmade decision: Should I accept the new position? Which schooling choice is best for my kids? How can I support my aging parents? When we have a decision to make and the answer isn't clear, what we want more than anything is peace, clarity, and a nudge in the right direction. If you have trouble making decisions, because of either chronic hesitation you've always lived with or a more recent onset of decision fatigue, Emily P. Freeman offers a fresh way of practicing familiar but often forgotten advice: simply do the next right thing.

One thing is certain in this life: We will all experience hardship and pain. But with God as our caring Father, we can also be certain the trials we face are not simply mysteries beyond understanding, but opportunities to be shaped for a glory beyond imagination.

Although I attended church most of my life, I was lost: I looked at the sky and asked, "Who are you? Tell me what to do, and I will do it." Those words and the actions that followed unlocked the pathway to knowing God, hearing His voice, and reaping the rewards of doing His Word. True personal stories reveal the truth of God's Word, the importance of understanding it, and the spiritual progress accomplished by actually doing it. Any listener will identify with the journey because there is nothing special about the author, yet the responses from God are extraordinary.
