Discerning God’s Will

Popular author Ben Campbell Johnson writes about the human quest to find one’s purpose in life. He discusses how the will of God relies on the depths of the human psyche, and shows that the search for meaning is synonymous with the quest for the will of God. Johnson claims that once God’s will is sensed, one must trust that God will continue to give guidance, even in the midst of evil. He suggests that the individual may be helped in finding the will of God in and through the church as a community of discernment. For each chapter, a series of reflection exercises is provided, along with a brief guide to the process of discernment.
