I was unfamiliar with Megan Marshman prior to reading this book. I was drawn in by the subtitle and hopeful for what I could learn from her work. 

Meant for Good is structured around the verses Jeremiah 29:11-14, ostensibly covering ways in which this scripture unlocks God's plans for us. The book has nuggets of wisdom: Jesus's tendency to respond to questions with questions in order get others to be active participants in their learning; emphasizing that God's grace is not dependent on our worthiness; the centrality of trust in faith and how God works from a place of abundance; how to be more receptive and attentive to God's nudges in discernment. 

However, I have two main critiques of the book. First, the structure of Jeremiah 29:11-14 was compelling and powerful, but I felt the execution fell flat (aside from a specific section or two, namely Chapter 5, "Who Before What") and relied on anecdotes and disjointed tidbits of theology rather than a robust case for her argument. Secondly, the tone of the book didn't work for me. I imagine Mrs. Marshman is a phenomenal and engaging speaker, but I don't know that the style translated well to text. 

Disclaimer: I received an advanced copy of this book. This review reflects my honest thoughts.
