To my father, Robert Terrance Harney, who said no to me more than any human being on this planet but also taught me the glory, power, and wisdom of a strategic yes
A retired man I met spends hours every day sitting in a coffee shop. He told me of a curious phenomenon about how people order coffee differently in the morning than they do in the afternoon.
What do you mean? I asked.
In the morning they come in and say, I need a double espresso, or, I need a skinny cappuccino. In the afternoon, they say, I want a vanilla Frappuccino, or, Can I please have a green tea without sweetener? When it comes to caffeine, in the morning its I need. In the afternoon its I want.
No Is a Beautiful Word is a book I need, not just want, and I suspect that will be true for many other readers as well. At first glance, learning to say no sounds so simplejust do it! Why do I need to read a book about it? But most of us know there are spiritual realities that make saying the word no a legitimate struggle. Kevin Harney resets the context of saying no by placing it inside a life filled with many beautiful yeses. He dissects the process of saying no so that youre equipped to discern when and how to apply the brilliance of saying no strategically and effectively. Youll find yourself saying, Oh, thats a good idea, or, I think I could say no that way.
After reading this book, I realized how essential learning to say no truly is. We will have happier, more fulfilling, more productive, more peaceful, and more God-honoring lives in direct proportion to how well we learn to say no. And we will open wide the door to numerous beautiful, enriching, and God-inspired yeses.
You will reap hours of time for every minute you invest in reading this book. You cant afford not to read it. The chapters fly by, but none of them will waste your time. They are laden with wisdom, biblical truth, and hard-won experience.
No Is a Beautiful Word is like that desperate morning cup of coffee. Its not just something we want. Its something we need.
G ARY T HOMAS , author of Sacred Marriage
A THOUSAND NOS
I love words.
I enjoy writing. Its not my full-time job, but its a delightful hobby. I can write for hours and have an absolute blast. Do you remember the dinner scene in the movie What about Bob? The main character, the likable but neurotic Bob Wiley, has crashed his therapists vacation and family dinner. While they are eating, Bob makes loud noises of satisfaction with each bite of food. He cant help himself. He is in heaven.
