If you're looking for encouragement and helpful ideas to understand why you may be avoiding those detours or disruptions that God has placed in your life this is the book for you. It was very thought provoking and made me take an honest look at myself as to why I get distracted when God has clearly put something on my heart. I loved the helpful ideas in the journaling, devotional and action portions at the end of each chapter.
