Ask It Book Review

       Ask It is all about one question. A question that will change the way you go about making decisions. This question will help you answer the other questions about choices we all run up against.

 Should I take this job?

Buy this house?

Marry this person?  

       

       The question presented in Ask It by no means makes the path of your future crystal clear. But you will have more confidence with hard questions and be able to make the right decisions easier.

       I read this book as if it were a novel. Stanley writes as if he is talking to you face to face. This makes the book a very easy read. But it is by no means has an easy subject. Using the question, Stanley addresses issues that hit close to your comfort zone. Issues that, if most of us had our way, we would leave in the back of our closet. But they are things that need to be talked about.

       Stanley also talks about your future, giving insights on how to proceed in different situations. He by no means preaches that his way is the “holy” way or that if you don’t do things his way you will fail. But he is a pastor with lots of experience in decision making. This makes his opinion worth hearing.  

       Now this may seem long and complicated and a book of “do's and don’ts”, but it is not. Stanley uses the question in different circumstances to help you out if you ever have to deal with the same things.

       This book is by no means one that you read and then forget about. It has a very challenging message to it. And, if you let it, it will change your life.

       This is a book I would recommend to anyone who is ever going to make life changing decisions (which is everyone =D)  

       Ask It is divided into six parts with a study guide in the back which makes it easy to use in a group study. There is also an Ask It DVD series that you could use for the same purpose.

       If you are going to read this book I would suggest you read Ephesians, chapters 4-5, the place where Stanley found this revolutionizing question.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

Thanks for reading!
