One Perfect Word: One Word Can Make All the Difference

Written by Debbie Macomber

Narrated by Beth DeVries

True stories that illustrate the profound impact that focusing on a single word—such as balance, surrender, or believe—for a whole year can bring you, from award-winning, perennially bestselling writer Debbie Macomber.

In a world overwhelmed with meaningless words, the simplicity of one perfect word becomes profound. In One Perfect Word, Debbie shares stories of how her life changed for the better when she took the time to intentionally focus on a single word for an entire year. Words like “surrender,” “believe,” and “purpose” took on new meaning for Debbie when she tried to live by them.

Learn how Debbie discovered that the word she chose often foreshadowed the crisis she would face in a particular year. For example, the year she chose the word “balance,” her career moved to a whole new level. The pressures on Debbie to be speaking, promoting, and mostly living on the road were overwhelming. It was her yearlong focus on that all-too-difficult word balance, and a plea from a lonely granddaughter, that helped her refine her schedule.

You’ll be encouraged to find your own word to guide you, and see how one perfect word can make all the difference in a spiritually fulfilling life. In the tradition of One Simple Act and God’s Guest List, One Perfect Word is full of inspiring stories about how just one word can change someone’s world.

I have very much enjoyed her other books One Simple Act and God’s Guest List.

This one not so much, I tried I really tried to read it but it just didn't hold my interst, I like the concept of a word a year but reading about hers just didn't hold my interest.

I will tray again - maybe later in the year but for now. My rating stands.

I highly recomend her other books though.

Debbie Macomber, a familiar name in women's fiction has more than 140 million copies of her books in print.Her books have been translated into 23 languages. This book is not her first foray into non-fiction or Christian literature. In it's own way, this could be considered a self-help book.Within, she suggests choosing a word through prayer and contemplation and spending an entire year learning about and experiencing the word. She relates her won experiences over many years of choosing a word to focus on. She puts it on rocks in her garden, embroidrs it on pillows. puts it on bookmarks and in this way will contemplate it every time she comes across it. This is a quick read and gives the reader much to think about in terms of what is important in our everyday life and relationship with God.
