ALL THE PLACES TO GO . . . HOW WILL YOU KNOW:GOD HAS PLACED BEFORE YOU AN OPEN DOOR. WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Book ID/图书代码: 13341015B83804
English Summary/英文概要: Very rarely in the Bible does God command someone to “Stay.” He opens a door, and then he invites us to walk through it―into the unknown. And how we choose to respond will ultimately determine the life we will lead and the person we will become. In fact, to fail to embrace the open door is to miss the work God has made for us to do.
In All the Places to Go . . . How Will You Know?, bestselling author John Ortberg opens our eyes to the countless doors God places before us every day, teaches us how to recognize them, and gives us the encouragement to step out in faith and embrace all of the extraordinary opportunities that await.
So go ahead―walk through that door. You just might do something that lasts for eternity.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在《圣经》中,上帝很少会要求人们“停下”。上帝总是打开一扇门,邀请我们穿越它--进入未知的世界。我们所选择的回应方式将最终决定我们所过的生活和所成为的那个人。事实上,如果我们没能拥抱这扇打开的门,那我们也错过了上帝为我们准备的人生。
在《如何知晓你所去何方》一书中,畅销书作家约翰·沃特伯格将让我们大开眼界,上帝每天究竟会在我们面前打开多少扇门,约翰还将教我们辨别这些门,鼓励我们带着新年坚定迈开步伐,拥抱所有在前方等待我们的绝妙机会们。
勇往直前吧--穿过那扇门。你的所作所为极有可能会成为永恒。(DC)
Awards/获奖情况:沃特伯格(著有The Me I Want To Be; Soul Keeping)是加利福尼亚Menlo Park Presbyterian教堂的一名资深牧师,他的这本新书将给读者们带来希望与指引,帮助读者们拥抱改变,面向未知。他此前作品的书名很能体现其风格:夺人眼球、现代感, 带着一丝刘易斯·卡罗尔和芝麻街的感觉,同时又有些类似现代慰藉方式,但实则根基于新约和旧约中的叙述风格。沃特伯格的主要兴趣集中在精神塑造领域,可以算得上是比较能满足今日美国人的理想需求。比起关注说教,更为注重自我发展。沃特伯格非常擅长运用自身的布道经验和知识去表达观点,强调在上帝宣扬基督教过程中,在前进与迈向未知世界的过程中,信仰的重要性。
结语:主流基督教宣传,主张相信上帝,提升自我;非常适合教堂人群、牧师及信仰基督教的个人。(《图书馆期刊》)
Ortberg (The Me I Want To Be; Soul Keeping), a senior pastor at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California, has written a new book that offers hope and guidance to embrace change and the unknown. The titles of his previous works are indicative of his approach: catchy, contemporary, in touch with Lewis Carroll and Sesame Street as well as modern counseling modes, yet grounded in narratives from the Old and New Testaments. His principal interest is spiritual formation, which is in some ways an ideal match for Americans today. It is less concerned with dogmatics than with the development of the self. Ortberg is adept in using his pastoral experience and knowledge of scripture to develop his argument, which stresses faith in God’s invitations to Christians to move forward, into the unknown. VERDICT A mainstream Christian’s approach to trusting God and improving the self; solid for church groups, pastors, and individual Christians. (Library Journal)
