Just Do Something

As someone belonging to a generation of believers in constant anxiety about “God's will” for them, this is refreshing. This book may come off to some as a dry or impersonal approach, but frankly, this is how we ought to be making decisions as Christians the vast majority of the time. I absolutely believe in “writing in the sky” truly happening to some people, because you can't put God in a box - the Scriptures show that much very evidently. But superstitious, ritualistic thinking has infiltrated the thought patterns of many Christians (including myself) and some corrections are necessary. My prayers are now less oriented toward God revealing His will to me and more toward asking for wisdom, discernment, and the strength to resist sin. So helpful!

An excellent read! Highly recommend, especially to those who are in the college and young adults age range. Clear and to the point, DeYoung doesn't waste any time beating around the bush and gets right to the heart of the matter. This book was encouraging and convicting at the same time, and I'm very thankful to have read it.

I loved this book. It was challenging and convicting and directed me toward scripture and God more than anything or anyone else. I am someone who has wondered about God's will, overspiritualizing decisions and confusing passivity for patient waiting and perhaps taking a “holier” route. (Side note - the author does punctuate that there are times slowing down and taking a step back can help avoid making bad decisions.) Reading this book helped me understand that it is more important to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, not to determine in advance what my future holds, and to live in the freedom that comes with this. Definitely a book I will be recommending to others!

Fantastic practical book for Christians of all ages

I wish I had read this book 30 years ago. Such fantastic practical advice that is straight up Biblical. Really helps to demystify the concept of “searching for God's path for me.” Also informs on why so often we are earnestly praying for His direction, but don't get clear instructions. Those two concepts alone make this short read worth its weight in gold!

Highly recommended!
