Just Do Something

I picked up a copy of the book Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God's Will by Kevin DeYoung yesterday at church. It's a small book, one that you could easily fit into your purse or pocket, with only 128 pages. Joshua Harris recommended this book on his website and he also wrote the Foreword for the book (read it here).

Since Gene and I recently had to make some big decisions about our future, I sat down last night to begin reading this book on "finding God's will." I read the first 42 pages straight through because I just couldn't put the book down! It is soooo good! I kept saying to Gene that I wish we would have read this book BEFORE we went through our big decision-making process a few weeks ago. The truth in this book certainly would have served my soul during that time.

The back of the book jacket says this:

Too often, he writes, God's people tinker around with churches, jobs, and relationships, worrying that they haven't found God's perfect will for their lives. Or--even worse--they do absolutely nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of paralyzed indecision, waiting...waiting...waiting for clear, direct, unmistakable direction.

But God doesn't need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He's already revealed HIs plan for our lives: to love Him with our whole hearts, to obey His Word, and after that, to do what we like.

I encourage you to pick up a copy of this book. For those of you in Gaithersburg, it was only $5 at the CLC bookstore.
