We all need strength and assurance in times of doubt and uncertainty. A fundamental purpose in life, that much-needed direction we all seek, cannot ensue if we do not find ourselves facing challenges that either make or break us. Sportfishing guide and author Dennis Blue hopes to make a connection with you and help you find your own direction in his Christian non-fiction book, Need Direction?

An automotive executive turned fishing captain, Blue recounts how God helped him to find his way through life as he narrates his fond memories of traveling as well as his own share of tragedy that involves family members in a plane crash. He lays out the five basic principles of prayer, purpose, perspective, passion, and patience, and how they influenced his professional life. Hopefully, these principles could also influence yours.

As God has given us the capacity to exercise these given principles, Blue promotes and swears by them. For most of us, these principles are not understood and are consequently not used to their full advantage. Blue’s life experience can serve as your blueprint and proves that you can receive the blessings of these principles rooted in age-old concepts. Blue humbly admits that he has a steep learning curve as a writer, but his narrative has the crisp and clear simplicity that anyone searching for a spiritual compass can relate to. Accordingly, Need Direction? Ask God may well be part of the ministry he has been looking for. He commits to true-to-life storytelling that can well be described as heartwarming, dedicated, and focused. While this book may not inspire everyone to exercise the principles that he has been practicing, I prefer to give it a try with an open mind and heart—because this book opens its doors to everyone who wants to try, and it is worth reading.
