Product Description

We’ve all done dumb stuff in our lives. We all have regrets. Yet none of us plans to mess up our lives. Why, then, does it keep happening?

Life doesn’t have to be that way. You can fool-proof your life…as this book shows. God’s promise and pattern is for something better.

In The Best Question Ever, Andy Stanley effectively teaches the practical and lasting value of simply asking this question about our actions in all of life’s arenas: What is the wise thing for me to do, in light of my past experience, my present circumstances, and my future hopes and dreams?

This book probes for honesty —it pushes us to open our eyes to reality and helps us expose the little (and big) self-deceptions we have.

Prepare yourself.

You are about to be introduced to a single question that will revolutionize the way you make decisions.

Over the past twenty years, speaker and author Andy Stanley has shared the power of this question with thousands of students and adults all over the country. In this ground-breaking new book, Andy provides you with a filter through which to evaluate every decision in every arena of your life. As you are about to discover, the Best Question Ever will bring clarity to decisions involving your finances, your love life, your schedule, even your career.

People everywhere agree that their greatest regret could have been avoided had they asked the Best Question Ever and then acted on their conclusions. A time-tested truth that has immediate application, the Best Question Ever has the power to change the trajectory of your entire life.

Story Behind the Book

After continually making decisions that were short-sighted and hasty, Andy Stanley sought counsel. In Ephesians 5:15 he read, “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise.” It was there that Andy discovered what he considers to be The Best Question Ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern-Day Proverbs, November 22, 2005
By David R. Bess (Charleston, WV) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This title is the second I have read by Andy Stanley. My appreciation for the author and his writing style is growing. He is entertaining, edifying and enlightening. In this volume, Stanley poses the best question ever. He first explains the question, and then applies it to time, money and morality. He closes with an emphasis on the importance of the best question ever.

This book is a good, quick read that will benefit any Christian. I recommend it highly. After reading it, the chances are much better that the reader will ask himself the best question ever on a regular basis!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book Ever--Wow!, April 8, 2005
By Damian C. Dizard (Windsor Mill, MD United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My pastor is starting a teaching series based on this book, so I decided to purchase it(www.miracletemple.net). Ok, I read the book in one hour and forwarded an excerpt to a church member and she loved it immediately.

This book will truly change the way you think in every aspect of your life. You can "foolproof" your life if you ask this question.

I won't tell you what that question is, because you need to read it in the book and in context.

Don't think of any more questions....just buy this book, it is worth it.
For insight on this question Read Ephesians 5:15-17.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book!, March 9, 2006
Andy has hit the nail right on the head with this one! His insights are right on target - this book really does have the potential to change your life. I would recommend this book to anyone who truly desires to grow in their relationship with Christ, because it wasn't written to tell you what to do and what not to do. It was written to keep us connected daily with our Head (Christ) and think of Him as we make our day to day decisions. We are here to grow closer to Christ and to help others pursue Him as well - the decisions we make affect both. Great Book!
