Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God’s Will
Kevin DeYoung
Moody Publishers, 2009, 144 pp., $10.99, MoodyPublishers.com
With grace and efficiency, Kevin DeYoung pastorally addresses a problem he sees in today’s emerging adults: a hyper-spiritualized, biblically wayward inability to make decisions.
In the initial chapters, DeYoung fleshes out the conventional approach to God’s will—that if we don’t move to the right city, attend the right college and marry the right person, we’re going to be outside of God’s will in a netherworld of misery. In the rest of the book, DeYoung shows how this approach stifles Christian growth under a guise of spirituality and how we can escape it through Bible reading, community, prayer and just doing something and trusting God.
Whether you’re on the brink of a difficult decision or are interested in helping folks who are, this short book will more than suffice.
