Finding Your Way: ... to Things that Really Matter

by Tommy Tenney

In The Ultimate Comeback Tommy Tenney showed us how we can find restoration and healing after even the most egregious errors and from the most hopeless situations.

In Tenny's new book, the pilgrimage of Ruth and Naomi to Bethlehem is the springboard for Tenney's message which teaches that many of the things that go wrong in our lives can be resolved or even avoided by adopting some very basic principles. We desperately need to downsize, reprioritize, and sometimes even sacrifice less important things in order to simplify our lives. In doing so, we become unfettered enough to see more clearly where our priorities should lie.

We have the tendency to seek temporary satisfaction through a more convenient or more accommodating value system. We settle on whatever gives us permission to do what we want and to acquire what we desire. Ruth possessed the virtues of wisdom, faith, and trust; and employing these while enduring personal crisis, she realized that the very things she needed for inner strength and support were her family traditions.

What we find on this journey is that these foundational tenets lead us down a path to a place of peace and contentment, to the Things that Really Matter .

I learned the importance of kindness between people from this book.

Another book off of the free shelf that caught my eye. I have not really heard much about Ruth in the Bible so I enjoyed hearing more of her story. There was a lot of repetition but it was still good to hear. I agree that how you take care of small things sets a pattern for how you will care for big things. So true!! I was confused about his stance on family. He talked about how important family was in the book but he said never to cut off family. What does one do if their family is abusive to them? I found this hard to read in the book......there are reasons to put up boundaries and I wonder what he would say about this need, or if he would still side with family. I loved the ending that your past may have failure or despair but it does not have to be your future.

Excelente lectura. Ha sido de gran bendición a mi vida en estos días. Leído en el tiempo justo, exacto. Determinante para toma de decisiones, desafiante y atrapante. Admiro la capacidad del autor para desarrollar esta lectura de más de doscientas páginas con un libro corto como el de Rut.
