Finding God's Life for My Will

His Presence Is the Plan

De: Mike Donehey

Narrado por: Mike Donehey

ECPA best seller

The lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for award-winning contemporary Christian band Tenth Avenue North shows listeners that by seeking God first and focusing on serving him, we can live daily in his will.

"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan."

This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret - just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.

"This is my story...how I gave up begging to know God's will and began to ask His life to come and change my will."

With his signature humor and relentless hunger for God, Mike will show you that discovering the Father's purpose and plan for our lives is not the shell game that we all too often make it out to be. If you're unsure what to do next, take heart and accept the ultimate invitation: Learn to see God as the plan, not simply the formula to the plan.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Mike has been a friend of mine for years. He is equal parts fun, wise, and kind. He says what he believes, and he believes what he says. This book is full to the brim with words from a voice I trust, because Mike lives out the gospel message without pretense and with tremendous vulnerability.” (Bob Goff, author of New York Times best sellers Love Does and Everybody, Always)

“Who is waiting for you when the road rises up and smacks you in the face, when life sneaks up and hits you from behind and knocks you to your knees? Mike Donehey realized that it was from these positions he was in the best place to reach out for God’s hand and rise up. From accidents and intentions, decadence to ascension, his life and God’s will found a place called home.” (Ken Mansfield, author, producer, and former US manager of the Beatles’ Apple Records)

“Some books are fun to read while others just hit home, but my friend Mike Donehey has a way of doing both here. He is brilliant with words; his storytelling makes you laugh out loud; and yet - with all humility - in every chapter he blindsides you with truth that spins you right into freedom. When you have all of this written by someone with the highest values and character, you end up with a resource God uses in your life. This is a must-read.” (Chuck Bomar, pastor of Colossae Church and author of Better Off Without Jesus and Serving Local Schools)

Beautifully crafted

This is an amazing book that made me cry and laugh but most of all made me rethink my relationship with God. It helped me realize that I need to build my relationship with God so that I can hear His voice.

Focused and Well Done

Life changing because the story is beautifully intertwined with God's Word and truth. The focused is not on how awesome Mike is our how awesome the band is. It is focused on God's character and His love and the wonderful, amazing truths that apply to ALL of us. Absolutely beautiful.

Great read, good advice!

Loved this book! The simple truth of His plan in my life and the way to follow Him in all areas. A great read for all ages and stages of life. I bought 4 hard copies as gifts for my kids, but I’m keeping one to go back through take notes in. ❤️

Loved!

The title itself sparks enough curiosity to want a peak inside this book and the mind of Mike who wrote it. You will find humor in this book along with wisdom that will make you stop for a moment and check what your ideas are. In a world of influence and leadership this book questions all of it. The motivation, application, mindset and title. I only wish I had this book when I was in a leadership position at a church. While I was being encouraged to read all those leadership books you see and hear about this one would have knocked those books out of the water and changed the way I do my job. Finding God’s Life for My Will is a great book for anyone looking to better themselves and those around you. Mike Donehey is so wise and we could use more people like him to influence the world.

this book changed my prayer life

Mike Donehey has a fantastic sense of humor, and it shows at every concert. Amazingly, it carried through to this book. But not only is the humor amazing, his willingness to be vulnerable about his own shortcomings helped me to see my own. Every worship leader needs to read this book.

Not what I expect but not disappointed

The title got me to read this book. The story was amazing and worth the read. The longer I serve the lord the more I realize I have more to learn.
** note narrator was reading to fast. Slowed it down to enjoy.

God used this book because He knows what He’s doing

Thank you Lord for speaking to us through your people. Your plan is far bigger than what we can see or explain. Help us just to trust You and walk with You wherever we are. Amen.

A MUST READ!

Mike is an incredible storyteller and has such an amazing heart for God. So much truth flowing from these pages and it has totally changed my way of thinking, especially the part on prayer. This book is a gamechanger and a life changer.

So great!!

I have the hard copy of this book but I think I loved listening to it more than reading it, you get to hear it all come straight from Mike and you get to hear the points how he’s putting it across and also reading on the different voices to the person he’s talking about. Absolutely loved it!!!

Getting Back to Basics

i love how the focus of this book is about getting back to the basics with God. So many times in life we get so busy performing that we neglect the main purpose of living this christian life...which is, to be fully absorbed in relationship and communion with the Lover of Our Soul. only there, in that place, does true purpose develop within us, a light which will for sure illuminate the world around us.
