What Keeps You Up At Night – Book Review
What keeps you up at night? What is your worst fear?
These are the questions that Pete Wilson greets you with in the Introduction to What Keeps You Up At Night – How To Find Peace While Chasing Your Dreams.
What Keeps You Up At Night is a field guide for Christians who need to close the gap between fear and faith in their lives. In each chapter of the book, Pete challenges us to ruthlessly trust in God’s plans and discusses how to embrace God’s call for our lives, based on Scripture and his personal observations and experiences.
Each chapter opens with an inspirational quote, contains helpful subheadings to guide you through the material, and closes with a summary of key ideas, reflection questions and your next step at the end of each chapter.
Psalm 121:1-3, a key passage in Pete’s life, sets the tone for the book:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip – He who watches over you will not slumber…
Now, I am a fan of Pete Wilson’s – I thoroughly enjoyed his previous book, Empty Promises – but this book did not speak to my heart in the same way as his previous book did. The content, while solid, was not nearly as compelling as I hoped it would be, and it took me a long time to work my way through the book.
I’m sure that the right reader will learn a lot from What Keeps You Up At Night, but for me, this is a 3 out of 5 star book.
