Is This It?

Jaquelle Crowe Ferris

Rachel Jones is the friend who just gets you. In Is This It?, she covers profoundly deep and impactful issues for twentysomethings with relatability, honesty, and a healthy dose of humor. This book will uncover and address some of your deepest longings, fears, and insecurities while meeting you with a firehouse of gospel grace and practical insight. I wish everyone my age could read this book!

An extremely helpful and timely book for younger Christians who are trying to make sense of life and faith. As a pastor of a congregation filled with young folks going through the “quarter-life crisis,” I’m often addressing these same kinds of issues. Now, I have a resource to give to these young believers. Is This It? is rooted in the Bible, saturated with a gospel worldview, and a real pleasure to read. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

This book will help people take their eyes off of their situation and focus instead on Jesus.

Jones is a great writer, easy to read and it’s as if she is narrating her book to you. I recommend that you buy it as soon as it hits the shelves, that you read it and buy others copies too.... continue reading

“Such an amazing read!!”

I have not been able to fully finish reading a book since I graduated high school (I want to be, but never have been a reader). With that being said, I was very surprised (and somewhat sad) that I came to the end of this book after a short few days! The messages were encouraging, eye-opening, and truly put living for Christ into perspective for younger adults. I am going to have all my friends and sisters read it, and I might even have to read it again in a few years (or sooner) to refresh!! I recommend any young Christian (or any young person in general looking for some direction) should read this book. You’ll laugh, cry, and ultimately grow in your knowledge and relationship with Christ.

“Honest, relatable, encouraging”

This is great. Rachel is honest and encourages us with scripture throughout to listen what God has to say to us. As a young adult was a great read and I'll revisit the wide range of topics to hear what Gods says and how Rachel has understood experiences.

“Old but not out”

I ordered this book thru Truth for Life. Even tho I’m 60 years old, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. After 33 years of marriage, my husband passed away, and I felt I was starting life over in so many ways. Jones is wise beyond her years because I felt she knew me and where I was at at this point in my life. There’s not much difference in starting out for the first time and having to start over. It’s scary, no matter what your age, because it’s the unknown. Jones is quite humorous, and she made me smile a lot during reading her book. No matter your age, I recommend reading this book; it’s applicable because as a Christian, all of life is a step of faith. Thanks so much.

“This book was written for ME”

From the very start I could tell this book was for me. Not only because I'm a just-turned-30 single woman, trying to adult (and not very successfully), but also because I'm currently working my 7th job since college and looking for number 8 and constantly wondering if I've missed God's "real" plan for my life. This book drew me in with it's humor and warmth that made me feel like I'm not alone. Then with Biblical truth and compassion showed me where my thoughts about my circumstances had veered off course and gently steered me back. Not only do I want to read this book again but I also want to send it to every person who has ever looked at their life and wondered if they've failed or wandered out of God's plan. There is hope to be had and this book shares it in abundance. Thank you, Rachel Jones, for being brave enough to be vulnerable and for doing the hard work that the rest of us can benefit from.

“A highly accessible and encouraging read”

With great empathy and humour, Jones walks readers through the various issues the quater-life crisis surfaces in our lives. Most importantly, she encourages readers to look beyond our circumstances by pointing towards the difference Christ makes. Jones not only shows great knowledge of scripture, but also displays great application of these passages with the highly practical and helpful insights she provides. A highly accessible and encouraging read!

“Hugely helpful!”

Found this book extremely helpful. Love the way Rachel keeps the book firmly ground in Scripture, thoughtfully weaving appropriate Bible stories/passages throughout each chapter. Plenty of personal anecdotes are used and her style is warm and engaging, with some lovely moments of human. Highly recommended!

“Such an encouragement!!”

Rachel's life and her brave description of so many areas described in this book mirrors my life incredibly. This is definitely a book that needs to be read by so many young people and young adults. The idea and supposed fear of singleness, questioning the meaning of life, dissatisfaction in ones job, isolation, doubt and so much more are all topics that Rachel explores especially from her own experiences. God has used her especially to tell a story that we all need to contemplate in our lives. Read it, you won't regret it.

“Brilliant”

The brilliance of Jones’s book is that unlike any other self-help book being pushed at us on social media – it’s an unashamed acknowledgement that not-so-good thoughts litter our minds during times of big changes. But, even more brilliant is Jones’s reliance on God’s Word and His purpose for our lives.
