Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God's Will

This little book is helpful for the topic of finding the will of God. It debunks the myths and misconceptions behind the conventional way of finding will of God, and points people to the way of wisdom that is found in the word of God. At the end there is a chapter that has the author's good advice for some decisions, such as wedlock and work. Recommended for those that are in crossroads, and just for any believer.

This is a short, engaging, easy to read book on an important and often misunderstood topic - how to find out God's will for us. Deyoung shows the problems of common ways people misunderstand the topic, and then shows what the bible has to say about it. Helpfully he walks through how we should consider the common questions of """"who should I marry?"""" and """"what job should I talke?"""" by way of examples.

This is a simple, short book about making decisions. Christians would benefit from reading this book instead of being paralysed about decisions to be made. \\r\\nDeYoung suggests the biblical guidance for decision making is simply to make a decision because Christians have been given freedom to make decisions within the biblical guidelines of morality. \\r\\nThis resource intends too free and empower Christians to make decisions without the pressure of """"missing God's will"""". \\r\\nPerhaps the weakness is the lack of discussion about the subjective experience of the Christian life and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. \\r\\nA valuable, freeing guide to the will of God. Well worth reading. \\r\\n

With dozens of books published every year on the topic of finding God's will, this book is the antithesis. This book confronts you by saying maybe we are asking the wrong question. DeYoung argues that finding a specific will of God (for our job, place to live, whom to marry) is so hard maybe because God """"doesn't realy intend to tell us what it is. And maybe we're wrong to expect Him to. """"\\r\\n\\r\\nThis is a timely book for everyone. Sometimes we look at God as a magic 8 ball that tells us what we should do, where we should go, etc. Our fascination with our unknown future means we need God to tells us exactly where He wants us to be. Once we steps outside God's will then our life is over. This is a burdensome way to live and I have to agree with DeYoung!\\r\\n\\r\\nInstead of seeing God as a fortune-teller, DeYoung gives a God-centred and bible-focused ways on how to make decisions. DeYoung also talks about wisdom which is very helpful. \\r\\n\\r\\nIn another part of the book DeYoung also honestly writes about how Christians often misuses """"the will of God"""" excuses for our own benefits. \\r\\n\\r\\nI recommend this to absolutely every believer. This will change your paradigm on how God's will works in your life. \\r\\n\\r\\n5 out of 5
