The 4 Wills of God by Dr Emerson Eggerichs

Here is the book summary:

Should you take the job? Quit the job? Begin a relationship? End a relationship? Move? Plant roots? 

How do we find God’s will for life's big decisions?

What if you had total freedom?

Emerson Eggerichs believes there is a clear answer to finding God’s will. The Bible itself reveals the clue--a secret hidden in plain sight.

Before launching his Love & Respect marriage ministry with wife Sarah, Emerson was a senior pastor for nearly 20 years in East Lansing Michigan. Before that, Emerson and a friend ran a free counseling center called “The Open Door” in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

As Emerson navigated his career he found both he and the people he was counseling were wrestling with big decisions and knowing if that decision was really what God wanted.

Immersing himself in God’s word for over 30 hours a week for 19 years, he discovered simple, clear truths that set him and many others free.

There is a starting point to discovering God’s Will for your next decision and for your entire life. Begin here to read stories of people in the same situations you face today. You’ll be able to discover the freedom you’ve been searching for, and then, like Emerson, you’ll help others find that freedom too.

And now, my review:

I received a hardcover copy of this book and my first response was breath-taking! It’s so nice!  The design and feel.  If you’re a tangible book feeler like me, you’ll love it!  As for the book, there is freedom in the Word and this author brings his basis for discovering the Will of God from the Scripture.  That’s refreshing and I found this book to be thought-provoking.  This book looks at where in Scripture is the Will of God mentioned and puts out a framework for checking life’s big and small decisions in light of these “4 wills”. 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Just Open the Door by Jen Schmidt

Change a generation with something as simple as an invitation.

For many of us, inviting people into our lives and homes feels more like inviting judgment on our entertaining skills and stress on our already maxed-out schedules. But what if you knew that opening your front door had the power to radically change the world? To make an impact and leave a legacy with everyday invitations?

Jen Schmidt has set out to reframe how we think about hospitality and to equip us to walk a road of welcome in our daily lives. Jen knows that every time we choose open-door living—whether in our homes or by taking hospitality on the road just like Jesus—those we invite in get to experience the lived-out Gospel, our kids grow up in a life-lab of generosity, and we trade insecurity for connection.

Just Open the Door is a personal yes-you-can guide to offering the life-changing gift of invitation. Whether you’re a seasoned host looking for renewed inspiration or a nervous newbie not sure where to begin, these personal stories, practical ideas, and poignant insights will give you the confidence you need to see your home as the most likely location for changing the world around you, one open door at a time.

And now, my review:

Wow, Just Wow… This book makes me want to go out and invite people in…  Such a scary exciting adventure to show Christ’s LOVE in this way.  I wish this lady was my neighbor and we had a street of women pursuing this together and we banned together and went for it sharing our experiences at each of our houses.  Really that’s what it’s about but we’re just spread all over the nation, which is a good thing, and maybe there is a community blog or facebook group where we’re able to share in the successes and struggles.  That would be great.  Regardless, I suggest you pick up this book and be ready to be challenged in what it looks like to Just Open The Door to those God puts in your life.
