October 27th: The Best Yes

"Just as our bodies need oxygen, our souls need truth flowing steadily in and out."
from The Best Yes by Lysa TerKeurst

 {This is my second Lysa book this month, if you didn't notice. The first was Unglued.}

I read this book this summer after reading The Cure for the 'Perfect' Life (also a favorite book choice this month), and it was the best follow-up ever.

I love this book for many of the same reasons I loved Unglued. Biblical, practical, helpful, and real. She has a nifty process (with a super-nifty chart on her website) for planning whether something is a yes or a no or a Best Yes.

I haven't worked through the workbook,but if you remember I didn't absolutely love the one for Unglued. This one, however, seems to have a better layout, size, and practicality to it.

My younger daughter is reading the book right now and is finding it very helpful. I think my oldest needs to read it once she finishes some of the other items on her plate...reading time is at a premium when you're a senior in high school and working on scholarship deadlines.

I used the processes in this book when I was asked to teach this book in the spring semester at PWOC. And I had to say no, and it almost killed me. But it was the right decision. I am going to be my friend's assistant in the class, but my friend also knows that I will likely be in and out all semester...and together we'll scout out another helper for our class. I think it's going to work out just fine. That was a decision that worked out.

I think Lysa and I are secretly in sync, especially when I found out in The Best Yes that Lysa and I graduated high school the same year.
