Synopsis

God has a plan for your life. More often than not, it’s a detour, one that can leave you feeling temporarily stalled and slowed down. Which nobody likes. But detours are necessary if any improvements are going to be made on the paths we travel. Or if any wreck is going to be cleaned up or a hazard avoided. Detours are designed for our own good, regardless of how we view or feel about them. Detours are a good thing that often feels bad. Tony knows a thing or two about detours, and one of the things he knows for certain is that God works through detours to bring about His blessing. To deliver you to the place He has created just for you. Yet what we often do is try as hard as we can to work our own way to the circumstances we believe are best for us. Using examples from the life of Joseph, Tony will leave readers with answers to the following questions: ·How do you find the destiny God has designed for your life? ·How can you make the most of the detours God has planned for you? ·Is there a way to shorten a detour and speed up your progression in life? ·What is the purpose of a detour?

In this book, Dr. Tony Evans helps us to examine detours in a different light. It's well-written and a great read. We have all driven and suddenly come across a detour and we don't enjoy it. It takes us out of our way and delays our arrival to where we are going. Detours in life can be the same way. M......more

Goodreads review by Brian on November 08, 2017

No jaw-dropping insights in this broad exposition of Joseph's story from Genesis. Nevertheless, he does include a lot of good cross-references that hopefully can entice the reader into the habit of more regular, more independent Bible study.......more

Goodreads review by William on January 12, 2022

It's good and it's encouraging. It does read like Evans is giving a speech tho which I had to get used to. I feel like the message would be strongest when orally delivered, which I think he actually does for each chapter, so there.......more
