Take heart, you’re not alone-not even close.

Five little questions. That's all. If you could unlock the secrets of your true heart and head down a path to God's plan for you, would you? In Five Little Questions that Reveal the Life God Designed for You, Dannah Gresh invites women into a conversation of discovery to find the deepest longings of their heart, to overcome the secret fears of their soul, and to experience the freeing grace and passionate purpose of a loving Father. In His care, these five little questions rekindle a passion and purpose toward a life with eternal significance.
- Do I Need a Fresh Infusion of Grace?
- Am I Using My Spiritual Gifts?
- Am I Working in Agreement with My Created Personality?
- Am I Enjoying God?
- Am I Glorifying God?
For Christian women whose lives seem relentlessly overrun by frustration and weary meaninglessness, Gresh (And the Bride Wore White; Secret Keeper) provides pointers toward discovering significance and inner freedom. Gresh, whose style is both winsome and revealing, bares her soul via an ongoing narrative depicting her own struggles with depression, financial debt and a career change. She offers proven biblical recourse for recognizing and realizing God's unique plan for her readers' lives: they must extinguish past fears that stifle progress, find freedom in the midst of trials and difficulties and learn to ask the right questions to achieve profound and lasting change. Evangelical readers will especially relate to Gresh's admonition to first identify any idols—which she calls "fish" in a nod to John 21:15—that come between obedience and intimacy with Christ. She thoughtfully points out that while God might place a vision within a woman's heart, timing and preparedness are all-important. Be poised to let go, writes Gresh, but in the meantime, live in ordinary moments and embrace them willingly. Many Christian women will appreciate Gresh's inspiration and practical methodology in equal measure, and her spirit of camaraderie will influence them to seek growth.

Reviewed by Frances Evans (Hobbs, NM), June 02, 2009 I am just getting started on this study along with the journal. Seems to be a good study so far. 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Kathy Greenich (New Philadelphia, OH), December 24, 2008 This is a Spirit filled book that speaks to a woman's heart. I've purchased them for gifts and to lead a study. Everyone loves it. Practical, down to earth, but so convicting and heart and life changing. 4 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Ceil Kilgore (Eight Mile, AL), November 07, 2008 I ordered this for the 30 something year old young ladies I teach a home Bible study to. I have glanced through the book and I believe it is all I thought it would be and just what these busy mothers/wives need. The price was excellent and the service was great. 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Beverly Swenson (Lancaster, MN), November 06, 2008 This book is a must read! Our study/prayer group is halfway through "Five Little Questions", and it is one of the best we've done. Shackles have been broken, and we are being set free to pursue the life God has designed for each one of us. 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Laurieann Marks (Whitefish, MT), May 13, 2008 This book is not strictly a guide to your perfect employment. It is a guide to finding peace with what you do in life. How do we, as Christians, let go of past mistakes and present snares to embrace what God has for us now and in the future? Dannah's suggestions and questions are scriptural and thought-provoking.
