So I finally finished this book…. Actually I was rather surprised that it took me this long since I am typically a fast reader and this is not a long book. However, Ravi tends to have a lot of deep thoughts in his writing (I could only hope to aspire to something like that….) which really make you think about what your are reading. I simply had to stop every few paragraphs and reflect on what was written and how it impacted me.
In the end, a great book with lots of things to think about. The subtitle “How God Shapes Us Through the Events of Our Lives” really sums up the overall theme of the book. The 8 chapters are: Your DNA Matters, Your Disappointments Matter, Your Calling Matters, Your Morality Matters, Your Spirituality Matters, Your Will Matters, Your Worship Matters, and Your Destiny Matters.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
