Practical help for understanding and following God's will for your life. "God has a plan for our lives," but what does that mean in practical terms? How do we know God's will for important life decisions, like who to marry, what job to take, what church to join? How can we be free if God has a perfect plan for us? Does suffering mean we are off track? How exactly does God speak? Author Jerry Sittser explores these questions and offers a biblically based approach that is truly liberating. No matter what decisions we've already made, he points out that it is still possible to live out God's perfect will--even if we think we've married the wrong person, chosen the wrong career, or landed in some kind of serious trouble. This new edition includes study questions designed to help individuals or groups who are faced with decisions--large or small.… (more)

I really liked this book. Though I read it a few years ago, there are a few things in it that have stuck with me. It was good for me to read about the decisions we make and how God blesses them. If you are struggling with a decision and trying to pick one life choice over another, I highly recommend this book. ( )

我願竭盡所能招來許多人加入這一席對話。尤金 • 畢德生(Engene H . Peterson)
傑瑞 •席哲將此書闢為管道,透過《堅持一生的道路》來與一同行走天路的基督徒朋友展開一場廣泛且微妙的對話。那些走在這條道路上的同伴大抵都明白:本書的主題 — 神的旨意 — 可能正是基督教語彙中最深奧難解的詞語之一。我們大量運用這個措辭,有時候只不過是腸枯思竭的陳腔濫調,其他的時候卻隱含陷我們於焦慮風暴中真正的困惑。 作者以蘊含於神的旨意中無比的尊嚴對待我們,同時又維持一份沉靜堅定的信念,亦即我們必須停止臆測神的旨意,只要將它實行出來。神的旨意從來都不是揣測的事,它把聚光燈投射於信靠的順服。
