Braving Difficult Decisions: What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do
Angela Williams Gorrell
( Eerdmans )
If you are feeling unsettled, unfulfilled, or undone, welcome.
If you are at a crossroads or in crisis and need guidance, this book is for you.
If you have a big transition to make or a tough question to answer, and you are wondering how you are going to figure this out, help is at hand.
Braving Difficult Decisions is a pathbreaking synthesis of spiritual insight and practical wisdom that cuts through the thicket of uncertainty toward a future you can fully embrace. Drawing from her own experience with difficult decisions and in conversation with spiritual leaders, historical figures, and everyday folks, Rev. Dr. Angela Gorrell maps out a process for working through the most challenging aspects of complex choices, listening to God and others, naming emerging possibilities, and choosing a wise way forward that you can return to time and time again as you face new challenges. Angela will help you engage your questions with less anxiety and more interest, wonder, and creativity. As you move, you will learn how to trust God, yourself, and the process.
Angela explains, “My goal is not that you reach the same decisions as me or the other people featured in this book, but that you learn how to take your own journey into and through difficult decisions.”
You are being led, not just by the wisdom of the stories others have lived, but by the God who made the sun and the moon and the stars. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. And you are braver than you think.
