\"This book will be of immense help to those who desire to hear 'Well done' from the Father.\" -Dr. Gary Chapman, author, The Five Love Languages Bill Cosby said, \"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.\" Too many of us get trapped in the cycle of putting out fires and keeping people happy-squandering valuable time, energy and peace of mind. The only true escape from such mire comes from pleasing God first-being what He wants as opposed to what others expect you to be. We are challenged by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Ephesians to \"find out what pleases the Lord.\" The author explores this appeal by examining the seven times in Jesus' earthly ministry when He voiced specific words of commendation to followers. From the task of selecting disciples to visiting with friends just hours before the crucifixion, Jesus chose unique and unexpected opportunities to highlight the qualities in a person that mean the most to the Father. Don't settle for less than God's stamp of approval on your life. Read and discover what pleases the Lord.
