Discerning the Will of God? -- Just Do Something, by DeYoung

I like and agree with the central idea of DeYoung's Just Do Something--that God is not in the business of revealing every Christian's plan and path before it unfolds, so one ought to use one's mind and Scripture, and pray, to make important life decisions; and not to become paralyzed by waiting on God to communicate one's next move in every situation (even, maybe especially, the important ones). However, I think some of DeYoung's delivery and auxiliary ideas were a bit careless and not well thought through. Additionally, the book is presented in a way that is likely to be unconvincing, and even mildly insulting, to folks with the very ideas the book argues against, undoubtedly hobbling it's impact. Finally, if your theology is not that of a compatibilist/determinist Calvinist, you probably won't see eye-to-eye with how DeYoung grounds his view of decision-making and God's will (though I think you still ought to agree with his central thesis).

Still, I think if you're a Christian you ought to read this little book.
