The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman



From the publisher:
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. With this simple, soulful practice, it is possible to clear the decision-making chaos, quiet the fear of choosing wrong, and find the courage to finally decide without regret or second-guessing.

Whether you're in the midst of a major life transition or are weary of the low-grade anxiety that daily life can bring, Emily helps create space for your soul to breathe so you can live life with God at a gentle pace and discern your next right thing in love.

Emily P. Freeman speaks straight to my heart.  Her way of writing is as peaceful as her voice on her podcast, which is also called The Next Right Thing.  

This is a beautiful hardcover book that's subtitle is "A Simple, Soulful Practice for making Life Decisions."  Each of the twenty-four chapters is a way to take a deep breathe and figure out the next-right thing in your life.  I love how you don't need to rush through this book.  You can read one chapter a week and really soak in and put into practice the things from the chapter.  Nothing about Emily's writing is judgmental or demeaning.  Instead she speaks life and strength into your life so that you can do the next right thing in your own life.  

This is a beautiful book that can be for yourself and a gift for every friend you have.  We all have times where we don't know what to do next, where we are trying to figure out how to make a decision.  This book is exactly for that.  And even when you aren't making a decision this book gives you a place for your heart and soul to take note for when you will need to make a decision.

I received the book from the publisher (and also bought one for myself!) All opinions are my own.
