Directionally Challenged: How to Find and Follow God's Course for Your Life

by Travis Collins

Does trying to follow God’s call in your life leave you feeling directionally challenged? God rarely tells us where He’s taking us or exactly how to get there. Instead, like a compass, He points us in the general direction we are to go. In Directionally Challenged, trusted pastor Travis Collins helps Christians discern God’s compass for their lives. Collins offers help to Christians who have gotten sidetracked and encouragement for those whose priorities have been overturned and life’s callings set aside. In his warm and engaging way, Collins provides sound, biblical teaching on finding the courage, conviction, and character needed to discern and live God’s call.

I read this with DK and talked about it in our meetings during the spring but just finished it now.
I read this book at the exact right time in my life bc especially in the spring I was so confused at where God wanted me. Although this book didn’t give me that exact answer bc only God really knows that, it did help me think through some things and gave me some good pointers.
I tend to give non-fiction/Christian books 5 stars a lot of the time but this one’s writing style wasn’t my fave. He added in a few too many stories that didn’t add enough to what he was saying and seemed just kinda random.

Thank you for your knowledge

This was an eye-opening, thought provoking book. I'm sorry that it took so long for me to start reading it.

This book is very good in demystifying the process of knowing God's will. God is very practical and has many ways of showing us what He wants. Pastor Collins uses a very easygoing style to help us better fulfill God's will for our lives.
