Freeman's book is so much more than how to make a the right choice. She says "you'll learn to name the unnamed things within you and discern with God what your next right things could be." But naming those unnamed things doesn't just help us make good decisions. It's the unnamed things that hold us back from growth and living our fullest lives. I'm so thankful I found Emily's words.

This book is basically a compilation of transcripts of many of the beginning episodes of "The Next Right Thing" Podcast, but I was totally here for it. I love Emily's work and enjoy listening to it and reading it.

The Next Right Thing by Emily Freeman is a great guide for those of who struggle to make decisions, whether major or minor. Emily's kind and personable perspective is a breath of fresh air. Emily provides approachable for both deciding what our next right thing is, as well as granting us room and grace as we pursue the next right thing. Emily is an accomplished author and has a strong fan-base and when reading this book, I can understand why. This book offers scriptural support but doesn’t come across as preachy but yet in a spirit of love and guidance for those who may be at a crossroads in their life with decision making struggles.

This was a really easy and enjoyable read. I didn’t learn very much, but her writing style was engaging and she shared good stories and examples that brought the content to life in a new way. With Christian writers, it always bothers me when the Bible is rarely mentioned. I think she missed a lot of opportunities for this book to stand out and provide something different than what general personal development books would offer. She draws a lot on her own story, which is helpful, but I think she could have gone deeper. I would definitely pick up another of her books though!

It was an interesting read on decision making. Scriptural examples would have made it a stronger book.

I wish I had adequate words to express the way my heart feels at the completion of this book...but at the moment the only one I can think of is “PERFECTION”. The author has written a beautiful work of art, it is in my eyes - perfection.

As a fan of Emily P. Freeman’s previous books and podcast, I was not surprised to enjoy her latest book. However, I was slightly caught off guard at how powerful it was, and how through her words I viscerally felt my Heavenly Father’s love for me. Her masterful way of weaving words together into reflections of truth inspired me and also testified to me of how true her message is. I highly recommend this book to anyone facing decision fatigue, but really - I recommend it to anyone who enjoys books that speak truth and help your soul to breathe. This book will be a respite from the noise of the world.

(I received an advanced reader copy of the book, but the views in my review are strictly my own, that I have reached after reading the book.)
