THE BEST YES by Lysa TerKeurst

  • New York Times Bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst has written a new book about finding your Best Yes. Many call this book “inspiring” and “fabulous.”  I call it a game-changer.  You can grab a copy at http://goo.gl/ZFUZbD
  •  Quotes from The Best Yes:
  • We must not confuse the command to love with the disease to please.
  • The decisions you make determine the schedule you keep. The schedule you keep determines the life you live. And how you live your life determines how you spend your soul.
  • We have to put our hearts and our minds in places where wisdom gathers, not scatters.
  • If you desire to please God with the decision you make and afterward it proves to be a mistake, it’s an error not an end.
  • My imperfections will never override God’s promises. God’s promises are not dependent on my ability to always choose well, but rather on His ability to use well.
  • Not making a decision is actually a decision. It’s the decision to stay the same.
  • Saying no isn’t an unnecessary rejection. It’s a necessary protection of our Best Yes answers.
  • It’s not the activities or accomplishments we string together that make lives well lived as much as it is the hearts of wisdom we gain and use along the way.
  •  Lysa TerKeurst is the New York Times bestselling author of Made to Crave and Unglued. She isn’t shy about admitting what a mess she can be. But in the midst of everyday “growth opportunities,” she’s been learning God’s lessons and sharing them on her blog (www.LysaTerKeurst.com) and in her books. Lysa is president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and writes from her sticky farm table in North Carolina where she lives with her husband, Art, five kids, three dogs, and mouse that refuses to leave her kitchen.
