Change your Question

These past two weeks I have been reading the book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Life by Wendy Watson Nelson. If you want a book to make you think and reflect, this is the book for you. I have done a lot of soul searching and writing my thoughts and feeling down as I've explored the thought provoking questions she presents in this book. It has truly made me look at the questions I have been asking. At one point she encourages us to read Alma 5 and think about the questions he asks. There was one verse that really made me stop and think. 19: I say unto you, can ye look up to God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands? I say unto you, can you look up, having the ^aimage of God engraven upon your countenances? Just thinking about that one little question as made me stop and think before I say or do anything. What does the word engraven mean to you? How can we have the image of God engraven upon our countenances? This is what Deseret Book has to say about it. http://deseretbook.com/item/4961376/Change_Your_Questions_Change_Your_Life

"Questions can be powerful! They can help us to see, feel, think, and do things differently! Do you want better relationships? Then ask better questions. Do you want a great life? Learn to ask great questions.

This pattern was never better exemplified than when a young, fourteen-year-old boy accepted the familiar invitation from James-"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God." - and decided to ask God which church he should join. That single question not only changed his life forever but also changed the world forever by ushering in the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Truly, questions can be powerful agents of change.

In this unique and thought-provoking book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Life, Wendy Watson Nelson explored the power of asking - and answering - certain questions. Questions such as:

• What is on my premortal list of "Things to Do While on Earth"?
• What is the one question I most need to have answered from the scriptures today?
• How can I be more of my true self at the end of this experience?
• Whose agenda is this supporting?

The book's full-color graphics and illustrations help us visualize and personalize these important concepts, and we are invited to pause and reflect on the different kinds of questions we can ask and the remarkable ways new questions can help us solve old problems.

Filled with inspirational insights and grounded in doctrine and the scriptures, Change Your Questions, Change Your Life presents what may seem to be a revolutionary way of looking at your life, but in reality it simply, and with great clarity, articulates one of the most profound ways the Lord has always taught His children and invited them to progress. For truly He has said "Ask, and it shall be given you" (Matt. 7:7)."
