Commendations

"Desiring God's Will is a fresh alternative to today's common spiritual writing. David Benner has written a penetrating book...that goes beyond the facile 'how to' and seeks to confront the heart of our rebellion, independence, and pride. This is a welcome gift to those who want to move past easy answers as they surrender to a truly authentic faith and walk with God."

Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Pathways and Sacred Marriage

"This is for people who want God. Even more, it is for people who want to want God. It is about not the taming of the will but its transformation."

John Ortberg, author, teaching pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church

"David Benner never disappoints. he is intelligent without being academic, psychologically astute without being trendy, spiritually profound without being pious. He clearly knows the landscape from which he dares to speak."

Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico
