The Best Yes

Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands

By: Lysa TerKeurst

Narrated by: Amber Quick

Learn to find and play the role God wants most for you to play, not the ones you feel pressured into playing for the sake of others or even our sense of accomplishment and worth. Most of us spend a lot of our lives figuring out when to say yes and when to say no. How to manage our time, reduce stress, do our best for our families, find a little space for "me". But we don't find space for our souls until we learn to step past the yes and no of daily decisions and seek a third option: the best yes. The best yes is the choice that shapes all our other choices. It's what allows us to play our necessary parts in God's plan, to spend our energy and focus our passion on the assignments that really are ours.

How do we learn to say that best yes? It requires honesty. Imagination. Attention. Trust. Humility. Practice - lots of practice. And wisdom. The best yes is really all about wisdom - learning to make truly wise decisions. And that's the heart of this book. "I want us to become powerfully effective decision makers," writes Lysa Terkeurst. "Because then we will live powerfully effective lives. And spend our souls doing powerfully effective work to the glory of God." With her signature mix of transparency, Scripture-laced insight, and "been there" humor, she suggests usable strategies for choosing wisely and encourages us all to shout and whisper our own best yes to life, day by decision-making day.

Encouraged pastor's wife

This was the most helpful book I have read in my life (aside from the Bible, of course.) I am a pastor's wife and mommy and I have been perpetually overwhelmed and defeated for quite some time. This book encouraged me with some biblical principles that helped me finally find some peace in my day to day choices of time management. I have recommended it and given several copies away.

Favorite Author

This is a wonderfully encouraging & helpful book. Chapter 18 has one of my new life mottos in it. It's is such a down to earth, real author.

Excellent book

Highly recommend
Definitely the best yes was worth the money!!
Do yourself a Favor and get this book. No regrets

Excellent book

Didn’t like narrators voice; annoying! Book was excellent! I would recommend to other friends and family

Mind blown

This was one of the most timely things I’ve done in a while. My head is spinning not only about how will I apply all this wisdom but mourning the way I’ve needed this my whole life! Thank you so much for following God in this writing it was definitely a Best Yes!

Eye opening

The book had great content. I wish there was a little more scripture to back up some of the points. The chapters seemed a little redundant. The points were really good though. I really enjoyed the stories.

Changed my thinking

Story is authentic and easy to follow while thought provoking and Amber's voice is pleasant

great advice

Amazing book, great narrator. It's a must read with so much memorable advice. I'm going to be rereading many times!

-I was needing some encouragement about looking for a new job and needed some guidance on, where to next...
-Love the narrator and it felt like I was having a coffee and chat with a good friend
-We don't always need to know that we're on the right track but to keep moving and keeping our eyes on JC
