From bestselling devotional author, Hannah Duggan, comes a 10-week Bible study for the young adult asking the question, “What now?” As young adults, we question every decision. We live in the fear that our futures will crash and burn. We’re terrified of messing up and missing out. Our lives are characterized by hard questions, and we’re disillusioned with cliché answers. But what if I told you that you’re right where God wants you? What if I told you that He’s not afraid of your hard questions? What if I told you that God’s will is right front of you? What Now? is equipped with practical tools, spiritual breakthroughs, and somewhat unusual tips on how to find direction—not just for our futures—but in every area of our lives. If we dared to live the life God offers us, we could: The greatest revivals in history started with a few young adults who took God at His Word. There is no end to what He can do when we’re brave enough to ask Him, “What Now?”
Hannah Duggan is an author, worship leader, dance instructor, and Bible teacher. Her passion for writing stems from her desire to spread the gospel through gripping stories of heroes and heroines throughout history. She is an active part of her parents’ ministry at Calvary Chapel in Hamakua on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Hannah's work is theologically rich and imaginatively illustrative making it one of the easiest challenging books I have read in a long time. People of the Millennial generation will just find their souls being spoken to by someone who is undoubtedly a prophet (forth-telling the Word of God) for our time.
Although I’m a little past that young adult stage, this book I believe was designed for anyone in that “What’s Next?” phase. This study guide will allow for you to draw nearer to God by really understanding who you are in Him. I loved the thought provoking questions and scripture Q&A.
Picked this one up for a girls' Bible study I'm leading, and got mixed reviews on it. There were definitely sections I liked, and overall I think Duggan's approach (in terms of language, delivery, relatability) was good. She just had a couple really weird bits that the girls couldn't get over, like when she described faith as a cruise ship.
...
Yeah.
These types of metaphors didn't really work on my girls and cheapened what Duggan had to say as they got distracted by how silly it sounded to them.
In Duggan's defence, I'm also pretty sure that this book is for a slightly older group than mine. My girls were only in grade 8 at the time, while I think Duggan is aiming for more of a young adult/university audience.
Regardless of who it's for, I appreciated her thoughts but don't think this is the best book for group study.
