No Idea: Entrusting Your Journey to a God Who Knows by William Faulkner Prize-winning author, professor, and preacher Greg Garrett (Wikipedia), who incidentally also writes books about the intersection of faith and pop culture such as rock music and superheroes, is a follow-up to his prior spiritual personal memoir involving his struggles with depression, Crossing Myself, this installment continuing the embarking on his application of his Episcopalian beliefs to his vocational calling and lifestyle, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.

According to his Wikipedia bio, Garrett has won the William Faulkner Prize for fiction once in 1993 for a short story, was a finalist again for a novel in 2003, and has also had another novel become a Publishers Weekly First Fiction honoree, as well as having other fiction and non- nominated for assorted literary awards.

We've incidentally received one of his novels (not an award-nominated one) free in the past, in case you wanted to check out his other writing: Shame.

Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), iTunes & Google Play (both available to Canadians), and also ChristianBook (DRM-Free ePub available to selected countries), can be added to your library @ BookShout (online reading & in-app download), and may also be free at other venues listed on the publisher's catalogue page, where you can watch the book trailer.

Description
The critically acclaimed author of Crossing Myself tells the next chapter of his personal story as he reflects on issues of discernment, discipleship, and vocation that should matter to everyone.

How can you live faithfully when you’re not quite sure where life is taking you? How do you find joy and purpose in the midst of the uncertain, the unfinished, the uneasy? Inspired and comforted by Thomas Merton’s famous prayer that begins, “My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going,” award-winning writer and teacher Greg Garrett looks back at his own recent journey and tells stories from his life that will speak to anyone who has ever felt that sense of being lost along the way. Deeply honest and fully engaging, these reflections on discernment, discipleship, relationship, and vocation will inspire readers to reflect on their own journeys and discover surprising ways that God may be moving in their own lives.

In this honest, engaging memoir, Greg Garrett explores the question of how to live faithfully when you’re not quite sure where life is taking you.
