The Best Question Ever


I just finished reading Andy Stanley’s The Best Question Ever and would highly recommend it to anyone. Having said that, I want to issue a warning. You might at first be a little disappointed by the simplicity of "the best question ever,” but I am convinced that its application to your life will prove more weighty than you first imagine. This may even be one of those books that you give to, or read through with, your teenager. Without giving too much of the book away, I want to share with you the concluding prayer from its pages which now means so much to me: “Heavenly Father, today I place myself under Your authority. I surrender all of me to You. As You demonstrated Your love for me through the death of Your Son, so I desire to demonstrate my love for You through a renewed mind and surrendered will. Thy will be done in me. I surrender all. In the name of my Savior [Jesus], I pray. Amen.”
