Chart a Course inspires one to consider one's own path. Christians may see the way they, like Jessica, seem to get blown off course from time to time. Keeping our life pointed to God, "True North", can be frustrating and difficult at times. Chart a Course is full of Jessica's trials and some practical and moving methods she used and uses to reorient her course toward her desired destination: God's Plan. Non-believers? Well, if you find yourself struggling with the difficulties of your life, take a chance and read the book. You may find something you can use to help get yourself back on whatever course you are taking. Just be warned, you may discover there's actually something to this God thing.

This book was so timely for me. I love Jessica’s heart and how practical her examples and steps are for progress. I did multiple activities she suggested and they helped me weather the current storm in my life much better. I’m leaving these pages feeling refreshed for the course ahead.
