Excerpt from back of book
Too often, God's people tinker around with churches, jobs, and relationships, worrying that they haven't found God's perfect will for their lives. Or, even worse, they do absolutely nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of paralyzed indecision, waiting . . .waiting . . .waiting for clear, direct, unmistakable direction. But God doesn't need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He's already revealed His plan for our lives: to love Him with our whole hearts, to obey His Word, and after that, to do what we like.
Quotes
Doing the will of God means we say no to the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and our pride in possessions.
The will of God, as His will of desire, means that we do what is pleasing in His sight.
God does have a plan for our lives, but it is not one that He expects us to figure out before we make a decision.
We must renounce our sinful desire to know the future and to be in control. We are not gods. We walk by faith and not by sight. We risk because God does not risk. We walk into the future in God-glorifying confidence, not because the future is known to us but because it is known to God.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK
A MUST READ FOR SENIORS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS AND VERY USEFUL FOR ALL OF THE REST OF US
