Publisher's summary
Discover how yielding ourselves wholly to God, especially in the midst of challenging circumstances, lends new purpose to our lives.
"Vivian Mabuni is a kind and trustworthy guide through one of adulthood’s secrets: life doesn’t go like you thought it would." (Jen Hatmaker, New York Times best-selling author of For the Love and Of Mess and Moxie)
As women after God’s heart, we honestly desire to please God. We want to be used by him and to experience the peace and fulfillment he wants for us. Yet it’s all too easy to fall into living mechanically, with a rule-based approach to the Christian life, or to focus on getting what we want when we want it. Even when we want to be willing, saying yes to whatever God asks often feels scary, and the distractions of this world get in the way.
Vivian Mabuni knows this all too well, but she’s discovered that open-handed living starts with an intentional posture of the heart. Through surrender to his will, we draw closer to God in a way that makes our day-to-day lives more purposeful, powerful, and pleasing to him.
With Vivian’s warm encouragement in Open Hands, Willing Heart, you’ll learn how to step out in courageous trust as you invite God to give and take - and move and work - in your life as he sees fit. Along the way, you’ll discover true joy and serenity that will carry you through every circumstance.

Women were there. For centuries, discussions of early Christianity have focused on male leaders in the church. But there is ample evidence right in the New Testament that women were actively involved in ministry, at the frontier of the gospel mission, and as respected leaders. Nijay Gupta calls us to bring these women out of the shadows by shining light on their many inspiring contributions to the planting, growth, and health of the first Christian churches.

We long for a good life, a beautiful life, a kind life. But clearly that’s not the world we live in. How did we lose goodness, kindness, and beauty? And more important, how do we get them back into our lives? These are the two questions crying out in our streets, homes, churches, and from deep within our souls. Pastor and author Rich Villodas is convinced that only Jesus offers a way of being human that is both strong and tender enough to tear down the walls of hostility we experience daily.

Shalom is what God declared. Shalom is what the Kingdom of God looks like. Shalom is when all people have enough. It's when churches, schools, and public policies protect human dignity. Shalom is when the image of God is recognized in every single human. Shalom is our calling as followers of Jesus' gospel. What can we do to bring shalom to our nations, our communities, and our souls? Through a careful exploration of biblical text, particularly the first three chapters of Genesis, Lisa Sharon Harper shows us what "very good" can look like today, even after the Fall.

Critic reviews
“It’s easy to fall into a rhythm of control, clutching tightly to the desire to blaze our own trails. Vivian Mabuni brilliantly calls us to break the rhythm, relinquish control, and live in a relationship with God above all else, allowing Him to lead, guide, and provide.” (Rebekah Lyons, author of You Are Free)
“Through story and the study of Scripture, Vivian Mabuni reminds us of the power in trusting God and the peace that comes with surrender. Open Hands, Willing Heart helps us confront the barriers we encounter on our journey to trusting God fully and reminds us that God can indeed be trusted with everything that concerns us. Vivian’s voice is at once bold and gentle, vulnerable and full of grace. Reading this book left my heart ringing with a powerful question: What beautiful things will happen when we open our hands?” (Amena Brown, spoken word poet and author)
“Open Hands, Willing Heart calls us to let go of our fear in the midst of uncertain or difficult times and instead take hold of God’s glorious plan for our lives. Vivian’s relational, thoughtful, compassionate voice gently walks us further down the path of deepening trust in God, who always works His will for our good.” (Jamie Ivey, host of the podcast The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey and author of the best-selling book If You Only Knew)

He seems distant to us, and we resist the idea that God wants to give, say, and show us more; we dismiss it as rumor. But Jesus calls us to a better way. Another dream - an unimagined future.

Is real friendship too risky? We live in a world where real friendship is hard to find. Suspicious of others and insecure about ourselves, we retreat into the safety of our small, self-made digital worlds. Tragically, even the church can become a place that reinforces this isolation. Jesus models a much richer vision of friendship. Scott Sauls, pastor and teacher, invites you to see the breadth of Christ's love in this audiobook, Befriend.

Story
Is real friendship too risky? We live in a world where real friendship is hard to find. Suspicious of others and insecure about ourselves, we retreat into the safety of our small, self-made digital worlds. Tragically, even the church can become a place that reinforces this isolation. Jesus models a much richer vision of friendship. Scott Sauls, pastor and teacher, invites you to see the breadth of Christ's love in this audiobook, Befriend.

Story
The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do's and don'ts - it's falling in love with God.

Story
God wants to do more in our lives than we can possibly imagine. So why do we settle for less? Many times, it's because we are afraid to ask. Whether we feel selfish or silly doing so, or we want to let God off the hook in case He doesn't answer, we rarely pray for our deepest desires--not realizing that our desires are often dreams conceived by God that He wants to fulfill. It's time to discover the exciting adventure you were created to live!

To be clear, you didn't ask for this struggle. You want to get past it. You don't know how much longer you can hold up. But what if God is with you in this difficult season? When life seems off the rails, remember this truth: the minute you bow your head to pray is the moment God lifts his hand to help.

In our age when the church can too often seem like a poor copy of the world, Chad Bird challenges us to reclaim the astounding originality of our ancient, backward faith.

Total game changer.
Today’s church needs this book! I needed to read/listen to something that would remind me of the bigger life we are called to live as Christians, and Vivian did exactly that and so much more. If you want to wake up from the status quo life, please get this book! She does a great job incorporating interesting personal stories and stories from the Bible, while also challenging the reader to think through application questions at the end of each chapter. Also - the author is the narrator, which is always a nice bonus!

Love this book!! Full of great wisdom and Life Application
Loved this book!! It is full of God’s truth mingled with stories of amazing people living out their faith. I also love all of the practical applications it has for my daily life! Do you struggle with busy-ness? Or challenged by forgiveness? Or processing what to do through trial? Vivian has such great words of wisdom!!
She also provides great and thought provoking questions at the end of every chapter- so it is an ideal book for personal reflection and/or group study.
Vivian reads her own book and her heart and passion for God clearly comes through in this audiobook-even more than in print!!

Amazing!
Vivian does a wonderful job of illustrating how to live with open hands through many inspiring stories. She beautifully combats many issues facing Christians today and gives practical tools to live more fully into the calling God has placed on each Christ Follower. This would be a fabulous book to study with a group as Vivian ends each chapter with wonderful questions to ponder. Highly recommend this book!!
