My review...
Who hasn’t felt overwhelmed at some point in time? If
that describes you, this is a book to check out. It’s easy to become
overwhelmed, from our own desires to impress others by trying to live up to
unrealistic expectations, to illness, to so many other things. Perfection,
control, worry … the list goes on and on. DiMarco reminds the reader that in
those circumstances, God is still there. He doesn’t leave us to go through them
alone.
In general, this book is a quick read, but that
doesn’t mean that it’s not filled with lots of useful tips … because it is! The
book is very relatable. The author combines personal stories with Biblical
stories and scriptures, on a variety of topics. While some parts are serious,
there is a lot of humor thrown in, as well. Each chapter ends with “Thoughts to
Ponder,” a place that highlights the key points of the chapter. As a result,
this book could work well as a small-group study.
Some of my favorite quotes are:
· “God
never asks the impossible without giving us the power to do it.”
· “If
I’m overwhelmed, it’s because I’m not resting in the knowledge that I’m made
for His mission and not my own.”
· “Unfortunately,
our desire to impress can end up being our unreasonable target to aim for.”
· “…it’s
better to dive in and see the depths where God wants to take me than to remain
in the shallows, afraid of the sharks.”
· “God’s
mission is never interrupted and is always completed; it’s just not always
completed in the ways we might expect.”
