Produktbeschreibung

Every day we have to make decisions that can affect our entire lives - but how do we know we're acting according to God's will? Many people, having turned to Christianity in search of clarity and focus, often find themselves stymied by confusion and self-doubt. But according to Episcopal priest Fred Schmidt, this confusion most often comes from misunderstanding God's role in our day-to-day existence.

In What God Wants for Your Life, Schmidt discusses on what he calls "Triage Theology," a simple guide to making difficult decisions. This includes questions you should be asking while seeking the will of God, how to listen for the voice of God, and the role of signs and wonders in the process. Every chapter ends with practical exercises to help the reader learn how to discern God's will.

Rev. Dr. Frederick W. Schmidt, an Episcopal priest, is the director of Spiritual Life & Formation and associate professor of Christian Spirituality at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He is the former canon educator for the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., where he was the director of programs in religious education. He is a frequent lecturer at major Episcopal and United Methodist churches, national denominational clergy meetings, and spiritual retreat centers across the country.

"This is the most balanced, lucid, and appealing conversation about spiritual direction for thinking Christians that I have seen in many years."

- Phyllis Tickle, The Divine Hours
