Wonderful, well researched (and annotated) book on finding God's will. Most importantly, Mr. Friesen is generally very careful to cite Scripture on all points, which makes sense considering the subject (and yet, some authors miss this point in their handling of the subject). I would recommend this book to everyone without reservation.

This book is part of my collection that really focuses in on Biblical Commentary more than anything else (including some well known authors in the theological world). All of these books haven't been read cover to cover, but I've spent a lot of time with them and they've been helpful in guiding me through difficult passages (or if I desire to dig deeper).

Very thought-provoking look at what the Bible actually has to say about decision making and how to find God's will for your life. Probably will challenge what you believe about that. Highly recommended.

I read this book in college many years ago at the recommendation of a professor. It had such a profound effect on me that if it had been the only book I read, college would have been worth the cost.

Great book that labors through many issues about determining God's will. Its focus is that there is no individual will for my daily decisions that I should seek through feelings and impressions, but rather know God through the Bible and apply wisdom to follow Him.

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.
