From the Back Cover
We’ve all heard that God has a plan for our lives, but what does that mean in practical terms—when we’re faced with important life decisions, like who to marry, what job to take, where to send our children to school, or what church to join? Sometimes, God’s perfect will seems difficult to find, confusing to follow, easy to miss. We may even wonder if we’ve made past choices that have thrown God’s plan for our lives off track.
Discovering God’s Will explores important questions like: How free are we if God has a perfect plan for our lives? Does suffering and trouble mean we are off track? How exactly does God speak?
Discussing these and other questions, Jerry Sittser offers a biblically based approach that readers will find truly liberating. No matter what decisions you’ve already made, he points out that it is still possible to live out God’s perfect will for your life—even if you think you’ve married the wrong person, chosen the wrong career, or landed yourself in some kind of serious trouble.
This new edition includes study questions designed for individual and group use that will be helpful to anyone faced with decisions large and small.
