My review...
Life is full of detours. They can’t be avoided. Evans
has experience with them, and, in this book, he reminds the reader that detours
are always linked to God’s plans and blessings. Throughout the book, Evans uses
examples from the life of Joseph to demonstrate this point.
This book is insightful, and it provides reminders
that detours occur to strengthen us. Evans states that detours are ways to
shape people to help them fulfill their destiny, which he defines as, “the customized
life calling for which God has equipped and ordained us, in order to bring Him
the greatest glory and the maximum expansion of His Kingdom.” Evans includes
ways to help the reader determine if the detour is God-ordained or the result
of poor choices.
I know I don’t enjoy the detours in life, but knowing
that God is still in control makes them more bearable. It helps to know that
even when things feel bad, God is still using them for His good.
Some of my favorite lines:
·
“When you hang on to the weight of
yesterday, it will hinder the progress to tomorrow.”
·
“The greater the calling, the deeper the
pit.”
·
“Success is not what you have; success is
who you have.”
