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

OVER 300,000 COPIES SOLD!

Why won't God reveal his special will for my life already?

Because he doesn't intend to... So says Kevin DeYoung in this punchy book about making decisions the godly way.

Many of us are listening for the still small voice to tell us what's next instead of listening to the clear voice in Scripture telling us what's now. God does have a will for your life, but it is the same as everyone else's: Seek first the kingdom of God. And quit floundering.

With pastoral wisdom and tasteful wit, DeYoung debunks unbiblical ways of understanding God's will and constructs a simple but biblical alternative: live like Christ. He exposes the frustrations of our waiting games and unfolds the freedom of finding God's will in Scripture and then simply doing it.

This book is a call to put down our Magic 8-Balls and pick up God's Word. It's a call to get wisdom, follow Christ, be holy, and live freely. To just do something.

I really enjoyed this book which took a not so typical view of the Will of God that I have run across. Instead of looking for signs and wonders, Kevin DeYoung states that the Will of God for our lives is to be conformed to the image of Jesus. And though God has a plan for our future, it's never promised in scripture to be revealed in most situations. Instead God would rather want us to pray for wisdom, among other things, to be prepared and ready to, "just do something".
