Book Review: The Yes Effect

The Yes Effect: Accepting God's Invitation to Transform the World Around You, by Luis Bush with Darcy Wiley is focused saying yes to God.

After spending decades in global missions work, the author shares his own story, as well as the stories of various individuals and organizations saying yes to God. It's an inspirational and inspiring book, which encourages readers to share the gospel message.

In the Foreword, Wess Stafford shared, "You will take a joyful journey into the lives of amazing people across the globe who have realized their potential and God's will by saying yest to the right things at the right time for the right reasons.... Knowing Luis [the author] as the mastermind of the 10/40 Window missions strategy, I have been fascinated to discover his own story as, yes by yes, he has introduced the oppressed and hopeless to a life-giving relationship with Jesus."

It's divided into eight main chapters, including Invitation 1: Follow Your Leaders, Invitation 2: Open Your Heart, Invitation 3: Fix Your Eyes, Invitation 4: Move Your Feet, Invitation 5: Find Your People, Invitation: 6: Stand Your Ground, Invitation 7: Celebrate Your Chain Reaction, and Invitation 8: Lead Your Followers. Also, there are additional sections, which include the Foreword, Conclusion: Choose Your Adventure, Notes, and Acknowledgments.

The Yes Effect is geared towards church leaders, short-term and long-term missionaries, and individuals and small groups interested in global missions.

Note: I received this book from Moody Newsroom, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
