_Wrecked: Β When a Broken World Slams into your Comfortable Life_ by Jeff Goins
I cannot seem to pass up 99cent books. Plus, following Jeff Goins on Twitter and Facebook makes it harder to ignore opportunities to read books on sale. It’s a great marketing scheme for him and a bonus for readers like me. π
A short two-day read, this is an inspirational, motivational Christian-based book that encourages us to step beyond ourselves to do something significant with our lives within our own context and abilities. At first, I wasn’t really buying into the theme of the book because so many stories are told about changing your life and trying to do something to help others, but offer no real action plan. So, they end up being nice theoretical in an ideal world kind of books. However, as I pressed on in this one, I found that Goins tries to offer tangible ways for someone to make a difference within their own context, at least a little bit.
It did make me think more about what I am doing with my life and where I am going. It is something that I have been thinking about quite a bit lately, actually. I question if I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. I wonder if I am living where I should be living. I think about whether or not I am with the person whom I should be with. However, I also realize that sometimes all this thinking is not necessarily all that healthy either….
Anyway, I enjoyed the quick read and a nice follow-up to the heavier sci-fi that I read before. Now, on to the next on the list. π
