God does have a better plan but you will need to read this book if you want to disover how to relax and know that your on course.Sorry I can't give the answer to you. Buy the book.Summarized, You will travel back into the well detailed exciting life of YWAM Missionary John Stier. He will start you off with how he was raised and the many stuggles he had to go through leading up to meeting his lovely Hawaiian Wife. Against all odds they were called into a country to raise up other missionaries. The stuggles were not only real, but you will begin to see God revealed in a pattern sort of way, teaching John Stier to figure out the ultimate questions you may have been asking yourself. When I started off reading this book I became depressed hearing all the struggles John had gone through. But closer to the end I started seeing this pattern that God had taken John on. This was closely related to my own life. Then the answer came and it all made sense. You hear these sermons you read these books. But are you really ready for God to bless you? Are you really ready to discipline yourself when you find out the answers to your questions? I guess will see.

Awesome awesome book, that will definetely inspire you.

This book shows how God can work through you, if you just let Him and put your faith on Him. Probably the best book I've ever read. Jim Stier went through alot of difficulties, but God was always there. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
