3 Down, 33 to go

Holy Discontent: Fueling the Fire That Ignites Personal Vision by Bill Hybels

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book, like many others in the genre, is a call to action. It is a reminder that God intends for us to be acting on His behalf in the world to make it closer to what He intended it to be.



Hybels has aggregated the stories of a few people that he has met over the years into his view of what pushes people past the boundary of recognizing the brokenness and acting on that recognition to resolve the problem. His has termed this recognition as Holy Discontent.



If you know what God has called you to do in this world, then this book is a call to remember how you got started, why you do what you do, and to persevere through the difficulties.



If you do not know, then the book gives some guidance on how to recognize the Holy Spirit prompting you towards that endeavor. To find it, feed it, follow it and fight for it. Nothing in depth on any of these topics, but quick hits to stoke the fire.



Hybels reminds us that ultimately, God will want to say to us "Well done...", but for us to hear that, we have to have DONE something, so we need to find our thing and ACT upon it.
