Keep it for another read...and then another

Author Jane Kise uses personal and inspiring stories of real people, biblical stories with concise explanations as well as Bible verses, study questions and sources. Through these, she helps the reader of Finding and Following God's Will traverse the sometimes-circuitous road of searching for, seizing and following the exciting path God wants us all to travel. Kise gives the reader a road map where in each of twelve chapters, she poses simple and common questions about discovering and following God's will. I suspect, based on where they are in their quest, each individual will have a favorite chapter. Mine is chapter twelve. What if I missed God's Plan? I already knew this information, but needed to be reminded once again. Each chapter begins with the question and is accompanied by a bible story, real life stories and biblical references. At the end of each chapter is the Key (summary). The study question at the end of the book allows the reader to delve deeper into areas of particular interest to us as individuals. This book really is a handbook for Christians. The simple and straightforward format makes it easy to read and refer back to for future discovery. Armchair Interviews suggest you read Kise's book and then keep it on hand for future reference.

Finding God's Will...

How often do we wonder about God's will in our lives? Jane Kise presents twelve questions about discovering God's will. Some questions include: · What if I'm just not sure what to do? · What can the bible tell me today? · Can I ever trust my own heart? · Was that God or just a dream? · How do I know if something is a sign from God? · If the going gets tough, did I make a wrong turn? Each question includes a bible story often from the first person perspective of the bible character. The biblical story is followed by three real life stories related to the question. Each person shares how they discovered God's will through personal circumstances. Kise provides a summary at the end of each chapter and "Going Deeper" study questions at the end of the book for individuals or groups. The format of this book was very readable as well as relatable. Kise's approach of introducing the various ways God can speak through personal stories makes this book unique from a theological approach. It's more than just a how to book, but a resource that provides clarity for many people seeking God's will. --Tyora Moody
