I read the review you mentioned as well, and from the review it does seem to address the existential questions I raised in my post but with a much stronger Biblical scholar's perspective. All I know is when I feel derailed I am forced to search really hard at my choices and the strength, courage and wisdom to make changes. To that end, if the book provides a SPECIFIC, PRACTICAL OUTLINE where God provides direction vs. where we have free will, then I would find that information helpful.

As I read your excellent post here, a book came to mind that I think you'd find very helpful. It's called "Decision Making and the Will of God" by Garry Friesen and I'd like to mail you a copy if you'll e-mail me your current address. Be sure to read some of the reviews especially the one from Derrick Peterson: http://www.amazon.com/Decision-Making-Will-God-Alternative/dp/1590522052/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312378609&sr=1-1 I have personally experienced much disappointment and frustration regarding this subject as a Believer. Much of that from expectations and lots and lots of Christian teachings that Friesen believes is misguided. This book will turn this "traditional view of guidance" on its head by stating that God does not really have a personal (or individual) will for our lives (a blueprint I've heard it called). Instead, where there is no specific command, we are free to choose the path we take but will be held responsible for the consequences. A common response to this book mentioned in the introduction is that this material is both "...liberating and sobering. With freedom comes relief that I am not missing God's will. At the same time, being responsible for my decisions means that I cannot blame bad decisions on God."

Rachel and I rode through the park in a convertible and especially love the windows in the tunnel. Love reading about your travels.
