Synopsis
This book acknowledges that we all search to find purpose in our life. Ben Johnson believes that the will of God resides in the depths of the human psyche and shows that the search for meaning is synonymous with the quest for the will of God. He suggests that the individual may be helped in finding the will of God in and through the church as a community of discernment. Each chapter includes reflection exercises.

From Library Journal
This is a thorough and sound discussion of the process of discerning God's will from the perspective of mainstream Protestant theology. Beginning with our search for meaning in life and with Trinitarian sources of revelation, the book then considers intuition, imagination, memory and personal history, action, the problem of evil, and the role of community in discernment. Its two appendixes, "Reflection Exercises" and "An Abbreviated Exercise in Discernment," encourage applying the book's principles to one's own life. Helpful for both laity and clergy, the book is highly recommended for seminary and public libraries.
