"Holy Discontent"

"Lack of vision is a dangerous thing."- 'Dream' by Tuck & Patti

I've been eyeing this book for some time, "Holy Discontent" by Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor of Willow Creek Community Church. I thought the title was rather interesting too. So today, after a really inspiring service about the church's vision for the year, I finally went out and bought it. (And don't yell at me about hoarding books, I'm seriously about to finish my latest acquisition, 'Blue like Jazz" by Donald Miller.) Read the book description and see if it captures your interest too. Basically, it's one of those 'change the world' books. :)

And I'm going to say it again....I LOVE MY BOOKS! :) Hee!

"What is the one aspect of this broken world that, when you see it, touch it, get near it, you just can't stand? Very likely, that firestorm of frustration reflects your holy discontent, a reality so troubling that you are thrust off the couch and into the game. It's during these defining times when your eyes open to the needs surrounding you and your heart hungers to respond that you hear God say, "I feel the same way about this problem. Now, let's go solve it together!"

Bill Hybels invites you to consider the dramatic impact your life will have when you allow your holy discontent to fuel instead of frustrate you. Using examples from the Bible, his own life, and the experiences of others, Hybels shows how you can find and feed your personal area of holy discontent, fight for it when things get risky, and follow it when it takes a mid-course turn. As you live from the energy of your holy discontent, you'll fulfill your role in setting what is wrong in this world right!"
