The Mystery of God's Will

Summary: A "Me' Centered Approach to God's Will
Review: The book is somewhat helpful in comforting those who find God's will and ways mysterious and perplexing. However, this volume, despite its instruction to think theologically, falls into a man-centered--me-centered--approach to God's will, exhibiting greater concern about "God's will for my life" than about God's will for God Himself, and ignoring crucial biblical portions regarding God's will in relation to God's purpose and heart's desire. Revelation 4:11 and Ephesians 1, for example, are not given due consideration. As a result, this book, with a subtitle pointing to "me" and "my," as is so common today, is only a slightly above average approach to the will of God, which has less to do with "me" and more about the Body of Christ (Rom. 12:1-5).

Summary: The Mystery of God's Will
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It put into words, what I have known in my heart: That God is God, and He knows what He's doing; and that I am accountable to him, not the other way around.

Summary: God's sovereignty
Review: This is the best book I have ever read on knowing the will of God. The most significant part of Swindoll's writings are that they point to what we all should already know from God's Word. As my husband and I are seeking the Lord's will about our career or whether or not we should go into the mission field, Swindoll reminded me of the confidence we have in God's sovereignty. I'm so glad that I can rest in that. This is a book that I will recommend to anyone who struggles to know the will of God. Thanks Chuck!

Summary: A "Me' Centered Approach to God's Will
Review: This is the finest book that I read in the last century of the last millenium. I finished it on December 31, 1999 at 11:00PM. It prepared me for the 21st century and made me realize again that we cannot know God's will without knowing that there is a God and that we are not Him. Dr. Swindoll puts it all into perspective. I want to be like him when I grow up.
