Book Review: The Shift by Keion Henderson
Discover a renewed sense of your purpose and the courage to move from what it is to what can be.
Albert Einstein once said, “Problems cannot be solved with the same mind-set that created them.” To resolve our problems and deal with our mistakes, we must be willing to be transformed by God’s process of healing and strengthening.
We have a tendency to think of our present situation in polarizing terms: good or bad, up or down. Due to the seasonal nature of our life experiences, this is an easy trap for many of us. We overlook the fact that there are transition times, such as the season between graduation and the amazing job; between divorce and remarriage; between the failure and the success.
THE SHIFT explores the ways we can survive the seasons in between with the courage that comes only when you’re sure of God’s purpose for your life.
I enjoy books where the author opens up and shares stories where they don’t come off in the best light, but continue to share how they grew from the experience. Right away I knew The Shift was going to be a book I’d underline and refer to for that reason, and so much more. The author shares his story of very humble beginnings and big plans, and when his dreams shattered, it took him some time to move forward. That experience gave him a great perspective and an authority where he can share principles with readers. I found The Shift easy to read, authentic, encouraging, and even challenging as there are questions at the end of each chapter to reflect on. Simply put, The Shift is everything I want in a book. It’s perfect timing as we are in a global transition we didn’t coming, and the lessons and principles covered can help us move from reeling to victory. I highly recommend. I received an advanced readers copy from the publisher. |
