Publisher Description
ECPA BESTSELLER • The lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for award-winning contemporary Christian band Tenth Avenue North shows readers that by seeking God first and focusing on serving Him, we can live daily in His will.
"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan."
This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret--just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.
"This is my story...how I gave up begging to know God's will and began to ask His life to come and change my will."
With his signature humor and relentless hunger for God, Mike will show you that discovering the Father's purpose and plan for our lives is not the shell game that we all too often make it out to be. If you're unsure what to do next, take heart and accept the ultimate invitation: learn to see God as the plan, not simply the formula to the plan.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Donehey, singer of Christian rock band Tenth Avenue North, explains how he has given himself up to God's plan in his passionate debut. After years of struggling to figure out God's will for his life, Donehey wondered, "What if God doesn't want to give us answers because He wants to give us His presence?" As Donehey pondered the question, he allowed God to enter into his life, letting his daily prayers and sense of service guide him. He explains how he now chooses to take the next step (even if he is uncertain) when he experiences fear and indecision. For instance, when pondering proposing to his now-wife, Donehey heard the words of God guiding him: "I'll never leave you nor forsake you," which encouraged him to make the right choice. Donehey references the book of Joshua and the Exodus story of God miraculously parting the Red Sea for Moses as instances when faith was required but, in order to move forward, "some of them were going to have to get their feet wet." With many instances of divine inspiration that come from his dedication to prayer and biblical study, Donehey advises readers to focus only on what one knows and "to stop living for God and experience the sweetness of living because of God." Donehey's upbeat tone will appeal to Christians looking for inspiration and motivation when making tough decisions.
