2016 Christian Book Award finalist (Nonfiction category)
Very rarely in the Bible does God command someone to “Stay.” He opens a door, and then he invites us to walk through it―into the unknown. And how we choose to respond will ultimately determine the life we will lead and the person we will become. In fact, to fail to embrace the open door is to miss the work God has made for us to do.
In All the Places to Go . . . How Will You Know?, bestselling author John Ortberg opens our eyes to the countless doors God places before us every day, teaches us how to recognize them, and gives us the encouragement to step out in faith and embrace all of the extraordinary opportunities that await.
So go ahead―walk through that door. You just might do something that lasts for eternity.

Review
Ortberg ("The Me I Want To Be"; "Soul Keeping"), a senior pastor at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California, has written a new book that offers hope and guidance to embrace change and the unknown. The titles of his previous works are indicative of his approach: catchy, contemporary, in touch with Lewis Carroll and "Sesame Street" as well as modern counseling modes, yet grounded in narratives from the Old and New Testaments. His principal interest is spiritual formation, which is in some ways an ideal match for Americans today. It is less concerned with dogmatics than with the development of the self. Ortberg is adept in using his pastoral experience and knowledge of scripture to develop his argument, which stresses faith in God's invitations to Christians to move forward, into the unknown. VERDICT A mainstream Christian's approach to trusting God and improving the self; solid for church groups, pastors, and individual Christians.--Library Journal

Ortberg Sees Open Doors
By Stephen W. Hiemstra ﻦ
When I was in my twenties, overwhelmed with the immense uncertainties of life, I made a promise to myself—that I would never turn down an opportunity in life for lack of courage or for the unwillingness to give it my best effort. More than once, I rolled the dice and bet on a future that at the time seemed nothing more than a pipe dream. In the midst of all this uncertainty, I always felt God’s presence and divine provision, but I must admit that I tired of crawling, having depleted the last reserves of my energy, through so many open doors.
In his book, All the Places to Go—How will You Know?, John Ortberg explores the idea of the opened door, as presented before the church in Philadelphia:
“The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.” (Rev 3:7-8; 4)
Ortberg sees the opened door both as a symbol of boundless opportunities and of being useful to God (5).[1] It is also for Ortberg a reminder of a beloved Greek professor, Gerald P. Hawthorne, which he had known while a student at Wheaton College (268).
For Ortberg, the opened door is a fitting metaphor for how God invites us to step out in faith and service rather than having us wait for confirmation and comfort (257). He writes (10): “It’s an open door. To find out what’s on the other side, you’ll have to go through.” This opened door invitation always appears riskier than it really is because of who offers the invitation and for what purpose.[2] The purpose that Ortberg sees is intensely interesting: “God’s primary will for your life is not the achievements you accrue; it’s the person you become.” (15). As God tells Abram: “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Gen 12:3; 9, 35). In offering such blessings, God invites us to decide which doors to go through as part of our sanctification (16) and our decisions form our character and mold our identity (8).[3]
This identity issue is important and distinguishes open door people from closed door people. Ortberg highlights these characteristics of open door people:
1. “Open-Door People are Ready, Ready or Not” (25).
2. “Open-Door People are Unhindered by Uncertainty” (29).
3. “Open-Door People are Blessed to Bless” (35).
4. “Open-Door People Resist and Persist” (38).
5. “Open-Door People Have Fewer Regrets” (42).
6. “Open-Door People Learn About Themselves” (46).
7. “Open-Door People Are Not Paralyzed by Their Imperfections” (48).
Of all these observations about open-door people, the question of regrets was for me most interesting, as Ortberg writes:
“We begin our lives regretting the wrong things we have done, but we end them regretting the open doors we never went through.” (43)
Think of all the films that chronicle the stories of people who took risks that others thought foolish at the time—in Titanic (1997), a young woman scorns the proposal of a rich young man to hang out with a vagabond[4] or Last Holiday (2006), a woman empties her bank account on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe only to learn her fatal diagnosis was an error.[5] Risks not taken lead to regrets and Ortberg observes that open-door people are less likely to have them because: “The reason I can be open to tomorrow is that God is already there.” (24). As believers in God, we know the end of the story is in Christ.
Ortberg writes his book in 10 chapters:
1. All the Places to God…How Will You Know?
2. Open-Door People and Closed-Door People
3. No Mo FOMO: Overcoming the Fear of Missing Out
4. Common Myths about Doors
5. Door #1 or Door #2
6. How to Cross a Threshold
7. What Open Doors Will Teach
8. The Jonah Complex
9. Thank God for Closed Doors
10. The Door in the Wall
These chapters are followed by an afterword, acknowledgments, notes, and an author bio. Placing his acknowledgments section among end materials draws attention to the influence of his Greek professor and is an Ortberg innovation.
John Ortberg[6] is author of a number of books, senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church,[7] and an adjunct faculty member at Fuller Theological Seminary.[8] He was educated at Wheaton College and holds both a masters of divinity and doctorate of clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary. He serves as a trustee of Fuller Theological Seminary and a board member of the Dallas Willard Center for Spiritual Formation.[9]
John Ortberg’s All the Places to Go—How Will You Know? is a surprisingly lucid survey of what it means both to be a disciple of Christ and to respond to God’s invitation to grow in the faith, as Jesus says: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” (Rev 3:20) The open door motif adds fresh insight into God’s call at a time of critical need in the church for new models of discipleship and service. As such, this is a book to share with young people, small group discussions, and, of course, aspiring pastors.
[1] He defines an open door as: “divine invitations to make our lives count, with God’s help, for the sake of others.” (63)
[2] I am reminded of the dream of Solomon—“God said, ask what I shall give you." (1 Kgs 3:5)—and Solomon asked for wisdom, which God was pleased to give him (1 kgs 3:10).
[3] In past studies of corporate culture, I became aware of the special influence of mistakes in forming culture because they involve investment of more money. Thus, painful losses form the shadow side of open doors. In confronting such losses in our own lives, Jesus’ model is his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Rather than turning into his pain, Jesus turns to God: “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” (Matt 26:39)

All The Places To Go
By Michael Taylor
"All The Places To Go" by John Ortberg is a good title for anyone wanting to learn more on how to react to life's open doors. The book is around 270 pages and covers such topics as:
1. You don't know what you can do until you actually do it.
2. Do not despise the seemingly small things of life - they may be large in God's eyes.
3. God wants us to be excellent choosers by asking for His wisdom concerning an open door.
4. The way to go through God's open door is with all your heart - don't hold back!
5. Be realistic and serious about God's open door for you.
6. Doors get opened to sheep that would not be opened to wolves.
7. Wise people simplify their lives - having too many choices can paralyze us.
8. Ask God to give you a big problem worthy of your energies and life.
9. Make decisions when rested and in a good emotional state.
10. Have a good understanding of your strengths and interests when evaluating an open door.
A good read and future reference. Read, enjoy, and be encouraged and challenged to seek God's wisdom first when a door is opened to you.
Recommended.

Inspirational, Encouraging, And Most Importantly, Inspiring!
By DrillG
I was looking for a book for our small book study book to read about the meaning and purpose of our lives and found this one. Having read 3 other books by Rev. Ortberg, I knew he was a terrific Christian author who blends Gospel and personal stories seamlessly into his writing. He also mixes in some humor as well as poignancy, so I thought this would be a good fit for our group.
Well, I can tell you that not only was it a good fit, it had a profound impact on all of us who read it. We, now, are all on the lookout for the open doors that God places in front of us every day that in the past, we overlooked: small, medium and large doors that offer us the opportunity to do good works for an individual, our community, or the world. The book has inspired us to be more willing to step out of our comfort zones and truly be the hands and feet of God wherever He places us.
I can't recommend this book enough. It should be required reading for every Christian.
