Have you read Rachel Jones's book for twenty‑somethings, Is This It? We're sharing our book notes today OnTheBlog!
stood out to me in a conference bookstore because of its cover and title.
Essentially, this book teaches you how to “adult” while maintaining a healthy perspective that this life is not all there is. In other words, no, this isn’t it. Rachel takes categories that we all tend to freak out about during our twenties and uses them to point us toward our true hope and peace—Jesus. She does so in a way that’s humorous and winsome and assures us we’re not alone. She talks about dissatisfaction, decision paralysis, nostalgia, relationships, loneliness, careers, and the search for meaning.
One section that I really loved, especially in the current season we find ourselves in, is a section on nostalgia and regret. Rachel takes passages from Zechariah and Haggai and talks about living in the “small things.” Sometimes what we do in our twenties and thirties can feel small, especially when we compare our day-to-day with others’ highlights. And yet Zechariah tells us not to despise the day of the small things.
In every topic she covers, Rachel points readers back to Christ. Ultimately, this life is only a small chapter in our stories if we’re in Christ. Rachel points readers’ focus to eternity. If we keep in mind that this is not “it,” many of our questions and freak-outs will be answered and calmed. As we work toward Christlikeness instead of grown-up-ness, we will be encouraged and strengthened to do everything for God’s glory, even adulting. is still recovering from her Quarter-Life Crisis.
