In Search Of Gods Will
$17.99Add to cartHave You Ever Asked, “What Is God’s Will for My Life?”
A trusted voice of the Christian faith in spiritual formation and discipleship, deeply shaped by the wisdom of Dallas Willard and St. Ignatius, Trevor Hudson has crafted a “users guide” to discern God’s personal will for our lives. After serving the local congregation as a Methodist pastor in South Africa for almost fifty years, Trevor now lectures, teaches, and offers spiritual retreats both locally and internationally. Over the years this question about discerning God’s will is one that he has heard again and again.
In Search of God’s Will creates a biblical imagination around the concept of discernment and provides practical ways to discern God’s personal will for your life, ultimately helping you to become the unique person God wants you to be.
You’ll be equipped and encouraged in your faith on how to:
*align your heart with the heart of God,
*attune yourself to your calling,
*listen to God in Scripture,
*pray the Scriptures,
*pay attention to the movements of the Spirit in your heart,
*uncover and exercise your God-given giftedness,
*notice God’s presence and activity in daily life,
*engage in sacred conversations with trusted companions,
*make faithful decisions,
*take the initiative when God seems silent, and more.Each concept includes a ‘discernment exercise’ so that you can experience what you are learning. If you have ever wondered about God’s personal will for your life, how your desires and God’s desires intersect, and how God is present and active around you, In Search of God’s Will can help you catch glimpses of what it means to become the person that from eternity you were destined to be.

Questions God Asks Us
$14.99Add to cartTransformation comes from questions, not answers. We often look to the Bible as the book of answers. How often, though, do we consider the challenging questions God asks? Hudson notes that Jesus was asked 183 questions in the Gospels but directly only answered three. The Creator is teaching us as we teach children when they struggle with schoolwork: You learn more by doing than being fed an absolute answer. In Questions God Asks Us, we’re encouraged to focus on the quest than a resolution. Such an approach leads to deeper dialogue and intimacy with the divine. This is a critical turning point in our journey with God – as it was for the author. “I thought the Bible existed to give me solutions to my everyday concerns and dilemmas,” writes Hudson. “Then I realized I might be approaching God and the Bible from the wrong direction. It was as if God said to me, ‘Trevor, rather than you always asking questions of me, start listening to the questions I have for you.” Each of 10 questions Hudson excerpts from the Old and New Testaments serve as a starting point for genuine conversation with the Creator. He assures, “We’re not starting the conversation with God from scratch. God has already begun it. We just need to plug into the conversation that is already going on.” Questions God Asks Us offers a fresh approach for personal devotions and a unique discussion tool for small group Bible studies. It’s sure to bless anyone longing for a meaningful, growing relationship with God.
