Review – Fresh Start by Doug Fields

Fresh Start is a new book by Doug Fields that takes a look at some of the big things that are keeping us from realizing our potential in God’s plan for our life as well as hindering us from a great relationship with Him.
Doug starts out by explaining all about “fresh starts” – what they are and why we need them. He explains why we are “stuck” in our current situations and what we need to do to be come “unstuck” and have our fresh starts. Doug covers topics such as pride, the past, friendships, anger and rejection and how they hinder us and gives practical advice and insight into overcoming them. He also explains how we may overcome being “stuck” in one area of our life, only to discover at another time, the need to have a fresh start in another.
I really enjoyed the book. There is a lot of good “meat” in it and I will probably read it again and dig deeper with all that it contains. Many times, I would re-read a section because it really resonated with me. I especially found the chapters about friendship and discouragement intriguing. I was both uplifted and challenged in reading this book. I would highly recommend it.
