Just do Something

I just recently read the book Just do Something by Kevin DeYoung. If you have read my blog any in the past, you might have read my six-part series on The Will of God (check them out here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). DeYoung's book is a great little read and very similar to Gary Friesen's book Decision Making and the Will of God, but shorter, more concise, and to the point. I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone struggling with the question of God's will (Aren't/haven't we all?). It is a very easy and short read but very informative and enlightening. The book will likely make you examine and reconsider your ideas and preconceptions on the topic. For any who did not read my previous series and do not care or have the time to read them now, I will follow soon with a post on my notes and outline of the book.

Summer Book Log

Recently I have developed an insatiable love for reading. Now that school is back in swing, my free time is even less, and, therefore, I sadly have less time for reading. But, just for you enjoyment, here is a list of the books that I was able to read this summer. I enjoyed all of these and most (if not all) should be followed shortly with reviews. I would recommend all of them, especially Decision Making and the Will of God, Crazy Love, Unsilenced, and The Legacy of Sovereign Joy.

Decision Making and the Will of God - Gary Friesen

The Sovereignty of God - A.W. Pink

Crazy Love - Francis Chan

Unsilenced: How to Voice the Gospel - James Boccardo

The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination - Loraine Boettner

Tortured for Christ - Richard Wurmbrand
