Do the Next Right Thing: Wisdom For Your Next Step

by Roger Thompson

Do the Next Right Thing is a guidebook about thriving in the mess. It's about choosing the next right thing now, not dithering over the details or waiting for a comprehensive solution. Many situations in life confound us with no pristine choices. Instead, we have to choose in the midst of our murky complexity. The next right thing may only get us through the day, or help us avoid a stumble tomorrow. But it does lay the foundation for a solution somewhere down the road. You can learn to Do the Next Right Thing with confidence and in faith. You can choose the kind of person you will be in the crisis. You can do what is necessary and incremental, and move with God toward His ultimate purposes. You will develop strength of character and resilience in faith while traveling at walking speed through the labyrinth of options. You will rediscover hope and companionship with God and fellow travelers along the way.

Reviews

[Chrisanne]

The author explores the meaning and application of the qualities in 1 Peter 1:5-8: faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. He uses the analogy of using these qualities as handholds as we climb a peak, sacrificial love being the peak of significance in life. The study guide was useful for our group; the videos, not so much.

[Janet]

Even though the writer's video notes were geared to men, I chose to teach out of this book to a group of women. We all learned so much. We all were challenged to greater understanding of Simon Peter's words.

I will be keeping this book handy to review frequently. It has too much "brain food" to read it and leave it.
