We all ask questions like: Should I pursue this degree? take this job? buy this house? Is this the right time to retire? take on a new volunteer position? In our journeys through life, we yearn for God to point out all the pathways He wants us to take.
While God rarely provides us with such a detailed map, He does provide guidance in His Word. The Bible is filled with stories of journeys and my new book, Divine Directions: How God Guides Your Path examines some of these stories. Follow Abraham’s travels from Ur to Canaan. See how Moses led the people of Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land. Look at Ruth’s journey as she left her home in Moab and went with her mother-in-law, Naomi, to a new land. Take a fresh look at the Magi who followed a star to find the King. Tag along with Paul as he travels the known world to spread the Gospel. Divine Directions examines these stories and gleans scriptural principles that can help us in our own journeys through life. We learn how God guides and leads us every step of the way.

What Others Are Saying
Divine Directions presents a master class in beautiful storytelling. Sharla Fritz expertly weaves journeys of familiar biblical characters with her own experiences to present fresh insights into God’s guiding hand throughout our lives. The stories felt like a personal invitation to reflect on my own spiritual journey. To notice God’s faithful hand through my muddy valleys and snow-capped highs. I laughed out loud and felt tears of thankfulness spill over as God used this book to renew my spirit. If you need a spiritual jump-start, Divine Directions is sweeter than honey. —Donna Snow, founder of Artesian Ministries and author of Strong and Courageous: Studying God’s Promises in Joshua
Sharla navigates Scripture, history, and the theme of spiritual journeys with deep perception and fresh perspective. I found myself lingering over the surprising insights that she shared, wanting to tuck them in my heart to remember in my own life travels. This study is so rich and applicable to everyday life that I can see ladies pouring over it and having rich and meaningful discussion together as they dig into God’s Word, especially the testimonies of those who have walked before us. I’m certain that Sharla’s thoughtful work will bless and encourage you on your faith journey! —Lindsay Hausch, Christian author and speaker
Reading Sharla Fritz’s most recent Bible study, Divine Directions: How God Guides Your Path, I knew I was in good hands. Sharla frames each chapter by relating stories of her own journeying before setting eight familiar biblical figures in historical time, place, and circumstance. What decisions did they make? How did they navigate the uncertainties in their lives? How do we? Sharla guides and challenges her readers to connect and reflect, to dig into the Word, to learn more about how God leads us on our life journeys. This is a compelling study for anyone—in individual or group settings—seeking to grow in faith. —Carole Duff, author of Wisdom Builds Her House
With the wisdom of a lifelong traveler in the way of Jesus, Sharla Fritz weaves her words together with one goal in mind: to help others find their way in life as they find their way with Jesus. With humor, imagination, careful exposition of the Bible, and well-crafted questions for personal or group study, Sharla shows us how God guided men and women ages ago. She also gently reminds us that this same God really does still guide those who seek Him. —Afton Rorvik, author of Storm Sisters: Friends Through All Seasons and Living Connected: An Introvert’s Guide to Friendship
