Josh Nadeau has crafted something truly special with Room for Good Things to Run Wild. This book is an invitation to live with openness, creativity, and a deep awareness of the goodness woven into the world around us. With poetic storytelling and keen insight, Nadeau explores what it means to embrace beauty, even in the midst of uncertainty.

His writing is rich yet approachable, challenging yet hopeful. It’s one of those books that makes you want to slow down, pay attention, and let the wonder of life seep back in. If you’ve ever felt like you’re rushing through life, missing the goodness right in front of you, this book is a much-needed pause.

I've enjoyed Josh Nadeau's Sword and Pencil Instagram account in the past and was looking forward to reading his debut book. There were little nuggets of wisdom and truth, and I appreciate that. That said, there weren't enough practical takeaways on how to live out the thesis statement of his book, and while there was a lot of buildup, the plane never quite landed for me. There was a lot of quoting of other authors (namely GK Chesterton), but nothing super memorable or life changing on my end. I do think Josh has a lot of potential to be an even better writer in future books, and this book would be great for those who are just starting their walk with Christ.

I'd like to once again thank NetGalley and the publisher for a free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

A good book, though I was hoping for it to be a little more inspiring given the title and description
