Excellent treatment of God's will(s) and a Biblical model of guidance. ( )

Best book on 'discerning' God's will that I've ever read, also most Biblically sound. The author refutes the common belief that we can (and should) determine what he calls 'the dot' or God's specific will for our individual life. He shows that God's will has been revealed to us in scripture already and that we're free to make decisions consistent with that revelation without having to worry about 'missing a blessing' or inviting a curse because we're not living in God's 'perfect' will for our individual life. For example, per the scriptures God's will is that I marry another believer, however, God does not tell me specifically which beliver. As long as my marriage is to a believer I'm in God's will (at least where my marriage itself is concerned) and don't have to worry that I've missed marrying God's perfect match for me. I would highly recommend this to anyone who's struggled with finding God's will for their life, especially if they've been told by well meaning Christians that they should be hearing from God specifically about day to day decisions.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0880700246, Paperback)

Does God have a perfect will for each Christian? Does it matter? Can you be absolutely sure of God’s individual will for your life? In an easy-to-follow narrative style, Garry Friesen examines the prevalent views on God’s will today, then rejects them to propose a different view that he believes more accurately reflects biblical teaching. This rerelease of Decision Making takes up the practical issues of choosing a mate, picking a career, giving of one’s resources, and areas of disagreement between Christians to give readers a new approach to knowing the will of God.
