Discerning one's future can mean that we wrestle with God. We want to know where God is leading and what choices we should make to get there. Sometimes these matches last minutes and sometimes years.

Recent research from the Barna Group says that "only 40% of practicing Christians say they have a clear sense of God's calling on their lives. Christian Millennials are especially sensitive to this divine prompting-nearly half (48%) say they believe God is calling them to different work, yet they haven't yet made such a change." But discernment can be a difficult process, one that calls for guides and exemplars. This richly illustrated book, complete with reflection questions, takes you into the biblical stories of eight persons who struggled with God. Each was changed, blessed, and moved forward with hope. Each found God's preferred future. You can too!

Discerning one's vocation often means that we wrestle with God. Sometimes these matches last minutes and sometimes years. We want to know where God is leading us next and what choices we should make to get there. Yet it is difficult to decide which is our own voice and which is God's.

Research from a recent Barna Group's study shares that "only 40% of practicing Christians say they have a clear sense of God's calling on their lives. Christian Millennials are especially sensitive to this divine prompting-nearly half (48%) say they believe God is calling them to different work, yet they haven't yet made such a change." Clearly there is a need to provide material to help.

This book takes readers into the stories of 8 biblical persons who struggled with God. As a result, they were changed, blessed, and moved forward with hope. They each found God's preferred future for their lives. You can too!

Offers reflection questions to help readers focus their thinking.
