Product Description
Hyper-spiritual approaches to finding God's will don't work. It's time to try something new: Give up.
Pastor and author Kevin DeYoung counsels Christians to settle down, make choices, and do the hard work of seeing those choices through. 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.
No need for hocus-pocus. No reason to be directionally challenged. Just do something.

 | One of the Best on the Will of God May 16, 2010 |
I've read several "will of God books," but Kevin DeYoung's Just Do Something is the best so far. DeYoung is insightful, witty, and helpful to believers who are asking the question, "How do I know if this is the will of God?"
Positives
The content of DeYoung's position on understanding the will of God is the book's greatest strength. DeYoung takes the mysticism and paralysis out of the life of many believers by helping them to see that God's will is not some sort of inexplicable gut feeling or spiritual nudge that they have to be sure not to mistake. As the title suggests, when a believer is prayerfully walking with Christ, following God's revealed commands in the Bible, and seeking proper biblical counsel, he or she is free to "just do something" when it comes to non-moral life decisions--even the significant ones like careers and marriage.
Other strengths of this book include DeYoung's catchy, often humorous, down-to-earth style. While DeYoung knows his stuff, he does not present it in such a way as to make one think that he or she needs a degree to be able to access the info in this work.
Negatives
That style I just applauded, some won't like it. If a reader is someone who has been given to more mystical or charismatic methods of attempting to discover God's will of desire in their lives, they may be insulted by DeYoung's tongue in cheek style at times. While DeYoung is never crude or crass in any way, his way of poking fun at those who feel a need to hear from God about whether they should have Frosted Flakes or oatmeal (my example, not his) might be a little too edgy for highly sensitive readers.
Recommendation
This book is helpful, catchy, biblically solid, and brief. All Christians ponder at one point or another how to know what God's will is for their lives. Without question, I would recommend this work to a multitude of believers.
| | | | LIFE CHANGING! May 12, 2010 |
This book is literally life changing. Because it is all Biblically based and uses scripture over and over, the true meaning of 'God's will' can be found in this little book! A quick read the first tiem though, then you will have to re-read and mark it up. I truly can say I have never read another book like this one, and I read over 300 books per year.
| | |  | Short, Quick Read, With lots of good content May 11, 2010 |
A short book that is a quick read, but with good content and high applicablity level.
The book makes the clear, biblically based arguement that if we focus on the "how we do things", the what we do will naturally fall into place, and we do not have to worry or fret over if what we are doing is in God's will.
Basically one of those books your read, slap your head and say "doh". | | | | Effective May 3, 2010 |
This is one of the best books out there for Christian young men to read.
It gives some of the most practicle advice, and will leave you with a more biblical view of what faith really looks like.
Be sure not to skip over the promises made in Romans 12:1,2. Present yourself, be transformed, prove His will to be perfect.
DeYoung knows exactly what this generation of Feet-draggers need - Seek first His Kingdom and just do something.
A 22 year-old Mississippian | | | | Exactly what I needed Apr 24, 2010 |
| I couldn't believe my fortune when I heard about this book during a podcast interview with the author. As a young person (under the age of 30), I've struggled with the "finding-God's-will-for-my-life" quest to the point where I was immobilized by fear of failure. "Just Do Something" really opened my eyes and challenged me to rethink my perception of God's will and how it works in my life and the freedom God has given me to make reasonable choices. I'd recommend this book to anyone, especially people of my generation. It's short and to-the-point and very well-written. Excellent on all counts. | | | Write your own review about Just Do Something
