About this audiobook
“Johnnie is an author whose writing has personally touched my life.”
—Willie Robertson, CEO of Duck Commander
“What Am I Supposed to Do with My Life?”
It’s a question we’ve all asked and if it isn’t hard enough it seems that our desires for our life and God’s are diametrically opposed, continually at odds.
But what if the question wasn’t so difficult? What if finding God’s will was easier than you thought, and what if living it brought you more joy than you ever imagined?
Highly acclaimed author and speaker, Johnnie Moore, helps you find the simple answer to one of life’s most persistent and difficult questions, “What are you supposed to do with your life?”
Herein is the great secret of the will of God: The will of God is more about who you are than where you are or what you do. You don’t find it, you become it.
So it’s time to stop making excuses, and to start turning the particular dials of history that are yours to turn.
We need you.
God has given you a dream that could change the world.
It’s your choice whether you will give it a whirl.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is the Arminian version of Just Do Something by Kevin DeYoung. I like much of what Johnnie Moore says. For example, he shuns the mysticism infatuation of the modern church. He also emphasizes the need to make decisions and to own the responsibility of those decisions. What confuses me is that Moore argues for us to make decisions trusting in the sovereignty of God while peddling a softer view of God's sovereignty. He writes, "Life is you and God, together. He authorizes you to make decisions, and then he steps in and weaves those decisions into a glorious tapestry depicting his goodness and grace" (81). This picture of a responsive God is just a baby step short of open theism. I don't think for a nanosecond that Moore is an Open Theist, I just think he is inconsistent in how he makes his case for trusting in the almighty rule of God. At other times he seems to think of God's will as concrete. "God's will cannot be destroyed by any choice we make. It is not so fragile that one misstep on our part will shatter it. It is stronger than our mistakes; in fact, it can even use our mistakes to further its ends" (55). I wonder if Moore isn't writing to combat some young, hyper-calvinists? I have no way of knowing, but he seems to be grinding an axe that takes away from the otherwise great advice he issues in this book.
