A guide to demystifying God's will for your life and following it with great joy.
Do you feel paralyzed by major life decisions because you're afraid of missing God's plan for your life? Do you wonder how God's will works in tandem with your choices, experiences, and desires?
In this timeless guidebook, pastor and Bible teacher Costi Hinn offers readers an expansive map of what Scripture says about God's will. As you read, you'll learn to overcome common decision-making cripplers, distinguish God's voice from your own, and experience peace, joy, and confidence with each life choice, big or small.
Whatever life stage you're in, Costi Hinn will come alongside and help you:
Escape the chronic stress of uncovering God's perfect will
Find peace in God's providence as you make tough decisions
Discover freedom in Christ during hardship and suffering
Learn what Scripture says about God's purpose for youWhether you're praying through a specific decision or simply curious about how God's providence works, Walking in God's Will is the book for you.
Walking in God’s Will explores a frequently confusing and misapplied concept, helping readers understand what it does and doesn’t mean to pursue God’s plan for your life. Costi Hinn explains foundational concepts about pursuing God’s moral will and finding your purpose, and he explores common theological and practical questions related to God’s will, the sufficiency of Scripture, and how God’s plan intersects with human action.
He also writes about common pitfalls that people fall into when they are making decisions, such as paralysis by analysis, perfectionism, and fear. After this, he covers some key factors people should consider when making life decisions, such as ranking one’s priorities, seeking outside counsel, and looking to a long-term perspective. The final chapter addresses theological questions about God’s will and suffering. Overall, this book is clear and easy to understand, and Hinn includes personal stories and other examples that help illustrate important points.
However, parts of this book feel very basic, especially in the sections about following God’s moral will and believing in the Bible. There are people who need to hear this, especially if they are looking for God to guide them to just the right career without them bothering to follow God’s most basic commands. This book is a good corrective for some, and a solid resource about a big picture understanding of God’s will, but people who are looking for more detailed, specific advice about the decision-making process may be disappointed. The chapters that directly address decision-making are just a fraction of the book, while most of it focuses on theology and fundamentals of the faith.
Walking in God’s Will: Demystify God’s Plan for Your Life and Make Decisions with Confidence is clear and highly readable, and it provides a big picture, biblically grounded understanding of a concept that many people find confusing. However, because this book sometimes feels like Christian Living 101, people who are looking for a more in-depth guide to decision-making should know how much broader this book’s focus is. I would primarily recommend this book for new converts, Christians who have never received much discipleship in this area, and young people who are just beginning to make big life decisions.
