Synopsis

When the alarm clock goes off, do you dread the day-hopelessly enslaved to a schedule that strangles the life out of your passions?

Take heart, you're not alone-not even close.

Five little questions. That's all it takes. "I have five questions to ask you," writes Dannah Gresh. "I truly believe that if you slow down and answer them thoroughly, you'll have an action plan to live in the fulfilling and adventuresome life that God designed for you."

In this book, Dannah shows you how she found freedom from an over-busy, under-productive life to one that influences thousands. Her practical, doable steps help you move from an exhausting life to an exhilarating one. Five Little Questions That Reveal the Life God Designed for You includes real-life stories about Condoleezza Rice, Mary Beth Chapman, Donna VanLiere, Amy Grant, and others.

From Publishers Weekly:

For Christian women whose lives seem relentlessly overrun by frustration and weary meaninglessness, Gresh (And the Bride Wore White; Secret Keeper) provides pointers toward discovering significance and inner freedom. Gresh, whose style is both winsome and revealing, bares her soul via an ongoing narrative depicting her own struggles with depression, financial debt and a career change. She offers proven biblical recourse for recognizing and realizing God's unique plan for her readers' lives: they must extinguish past fears that stifle progress, find freedom in the midst of trials and difficulties and learn to ask the right questions to achieve profound and lasting change. Evangelical readers will especially relate to Gresh's admonition to first identify any idols—which she calls "fish" in a nod to John 21:15—that come between obedience and intimacy with Christ. She thoughtfully points out that while God might place a vision within a woman's heart, timing and preparedness are all-important. Be poised to let go, writes Gresh, but in the meantime, live in ordinary moments and embrace them willingly. Many Christian women will appreciate Gresh's inspiration and practical methodology in equal measure, and her spirit of camaraderie will influence them to seek growth. (May)
