I thought this book was quite well laid out and clearly written. It sets out to demystify the concept of (divine) guidance. In my opinion it succeeds in this, as the authors encourage us to use God's s revealed moral guidelines and common sense to make decisions. However we may perhaps be left slightly disappointed as we do often prefer to wait for a clear sign (even though we rarely get them and interpreting 'signs' is far from obvious) as to what to do. The authors point out that this way of thinking about guidance (which is biblical according to their interpretations) takes away some of the unnecessary anxiety with which Christians might approach key decisions in their lives, as if their is only one right way to go, and if they choose wrongly, then have moved out of God's reach. Instead the writers emphasise that some choices may have more than one right response and God just wants us to do the right thing by the right principles with the right attitude.

I found this book really helpful in understanding that many times when you are making decisions and wondering which choice is "God's will," the answer is quite easy if you just consider what the Bible says. If you have the desire for your will to be in line with God's will, it often turns out to be pretty clear and obvious figuring out what the right decisions are. It also addresses a common misconception that if you make the "wrong" decision, your bad choice might mess up God's plan! Understanding that this is not the case really helps makes decision-making (and your life) much less stressful!

this book is absolutely brilliant. I read it when feeling bogged down by finding 'God's perfect will' for my future. I wanted it to tell me what career to follow. Instead, it pointed me to the Bible, that God's will is for us to be sanctified and offered practical ways to follow Him. A must read, it gave me immense peace.

A well written and readable book. The last few chapters were particularly useful.

This is the most accessible, biblically accurate, introduction to the pastorally important topic of how God guides that I've read. As a trainee pastor leading a study evening on Guidance in the local church, this is so helpful. The main message is simple: do what the Bible says, and make decisions with Bible-centred wisdom. How liberating!
