Author Kevin Harney narrates his audiobook with the same sincerity, candor, and kindness that he advocates using when one is saying no. Although the word “no” is often associated with selfishness and guilt, Harney enthusiastically explains that saying no actually allows us to say yes to our passions and God-given talents. Harney’s firm but gracious tone defines his diverse menu of no’s, as well as when and how to use them. While Harney, a pastor, references biblical passages, his personal stories and arguments for why, when, and how to say no are practical and compelling for the secular and nonsecular alike. This work is a cogent and concise reminder to determine what is important in your life and say yes to it. M.F. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
