I received an ARC of this title through the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC from Moody Publishers, via NetGalley. This review is my opinion.

In his book, Pastor Mark Jobe helps us to navigate the unknown waters of the unexpected. Our world as we know it has changed and we need to move on, make new roads, and decisions following God’s voice. But how we do that? And where do we start? I like that this book is easy to read, gives you real and practical and sound advice. I like that Pastor Mark is open and honest about his in-between moments and I believe that with the help of God the steps he gave on his book can be a big blessing and can help us with God's help to go in the right direction.

What Now? How to Move Into Your Next Season by Mark Jobe gently prompts readers to take the steps needed to move from one season to the next—to take the steps necessary for transition. While it’s not easy, Jobe helps readers see it’s doable and it’s necessary while gently guiding readers step-by-step through the process. It’s not a quick read, but it’s meant to be contemplated and reflected upon and journaled through. But those who seriously dig in and do the hard work will find that while transition may not be easy, it’s necessary and fulfilling and it’s God’s intention. Jobe starts by telling readers they can’t stay where they are—movement must happen. Then he helps readers learn to quiet their soul, to listen to God and position themselves to hear from him. Next, Jobe encourages readers to re-envision their future, to adjust their thinking and to invite others on the journey. Then, Jobe ends by encouraging readers to take the next bold step. Prayer, contemplation and planning don’t do any good unless you take the next big step—with boldness, courage and faith. Both gentle and firm, Jobe helps readers prepare to move forward. If you’re sending that a transition is at hand, pick up a copy of What Now? Journey and journal through it and you’ll find yourself positioned for the next season.
