I have long been aware that if I don't ask the right questions, I'm not going to get the right answers. Understanding that principle in generalities helped some, but Sister Nelson has helped me bring much more specificity to my questions; resulting in much more specific and useful answers.
I have drifted away from self help books over the years. I find them too success oriented. They seem to all have money and power and independence as their central themes. Even Stephen R. Covey, who preaches interdependence eventually caused me to abandon ship because his boat lists toward taking control of our lives. I didn't get where I am by taking control, by enslaving myself to a planner. I got here by giving control to God and letting Him, not lofty goals, direct my life.
Change your Questions Change your Life is all about communing with God. It is about discovering your mission in life. It is about receiving revelation, motivation, purpose and power from God. It is not about what I can obtain, but rather about what I can give.
Wendy Nelson's book ranks (outside the scriptures of course) in my top ten books ever read. It is up there with The Three Deceivers, My Grandfather's Blessings, The Peacegiver, He did Deliver Me from Bondage and Believing Christ. It is beautifully bound, pleasantly laid out and made to engender expansive growth rather than restrictive regimentation. I came away thinking of possibilities rather than limitations. I came away with a active, more constant, companionship with the Holy Ghost; whose role it is, to lead me to "the truth of all things." This is a work book. Take the time to do the work; it is so worth the effort.
Five Stars
