Just Do Something

Because he doesn’t intend to… So says Kevin DeYoung in this punchy book about making decisions the godly way.

Many of us are listening for the still small voice to tell us what’s next instead of listening to the clear voice in Scripture telling us what’s now. God does have a will for your life, but it is the same as everyone else’s: Seek first the kingdom of God. And quit floundering.

With pastoral wisdom and tasteful wit, DeYoung debunks unbiblical ways of understanding God’s will and constructs a simple but biblical alternative: live like Christ. He exposes the frustrations of our waiting games and unfolds the freedom of finding God’s will in Scripture and then simply doing it.

This book is a call to put down our Magic 8-Balls and pick up God’s Word. It’s a call to get wisdom, follow Christ, be holy, and live freely. To just do something.

God told me that He wants you to read this book. Actually, that is one of the many mistaken notions about God’s will that Kevin DeYoung wants to correct.

DeYoung explains so well what Oswald Chambers wrote a century ago, ‘Trust God and do the next thing.’ Sadly, our wrongheaded search for the elusive ‘will of God’ often prevents us from doing both. This book will help correct the problem.

I try to keep a stack of these handy because it’s my easy-to-read, practical, go-to help for people discerning God’s will for their lives.

One of the best books on guidance I’ve read.

False understandings of God’s will infect so much of popular Christianity. The church desperately needs a rescue from this confusion. Thankfully, Kevin DeYoung offers that much needed rescue in ‘Just Do Something.’ Live the title to God’s glory, but read this excellent book first.
