Product Description
Product Description
The critically acclaimed author of the spiritual autobiography Crossing Myself explores the question of how to 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.

Deep Thoughts and Faith Walking, Mar 28 2010
By Kelly Klepfer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NO IDEA (Paperback)
Greg Garrett is an author I've recently discovered. After reading Shame, his latest fiction offering, I was smitten with his writing style. Shame was very introspective and full of deep emotional streams and after reading No Idea, I see the connection between Garrett's fiction and non-fiction...deep introspective thoughts and emotional pools.
In No Idea, Garrett picks up his spiritual journey after his first acclaimed memoir, Crossing Myself, which I have not read. Garrett writes about spiritual topics that are both common to anyone who has wrestled with God or religious man and common reasons for people who grow disillusioned with the church.
Sometimes poignant, and sometimes slow-moving, this narrative follows Garrett's journey from the tail end of depression to seminary. Spiritual memoir junkies or Garrett fans will probably want to look further into this one.

Must read for making real life changes, Sep 23 2009
By Christina Lockstein "Christy's Book Blog" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NO IDEA (Paperback)
No Idea by Greg Garrett is a striking study on learning to entrust your life to God. Garrett has a moving history of depression and failed marriages, so he has been through the dark nights of the soul. When an author has suffered the way Garrett has says that his life only improved after turning it over to God, it has the kind of power that authors with less colorful lives aren't able of invoking. Through a shortened version of his life story, he gives readers solid evidence and Scripture they can count on to get them through the valleys. I loved Garrett's humorous, mildly self-deprecating voice. It gave the book a certain immediacy and relevance.

Soul Food, Dec 10 2009
By Doris B. Mabrey "Doris" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NO IDEA (Paperback)
I said of Greg's earlier book, Crossing Myself, that it feeds my soul. This is more soul food. Greg has a real gift for sharing himself with his readers. His gift of himself keeps on giving by providing the reader with new insights and openness to seeing God at work in their own lives.
