Does God Have a Perfect Will for Your Life? Does God have a perfect will for each Christian? Can you be absolutely certain of God’s specific will for your life? In this expanded twenty-fifth anniversary edition of his highly acclaimed work, Garry Friesen examines the prevalent view on God’s will today and provides a sound biblical alternative to the traditional teaching of how God guides us. This new edition includes these helpful resources: • Study guide for small groups • Responses to Frequently Asked Questions • Guide to painless Scripture memorization Friesen tackles the very practical issues of choosing a mate, picking a career, and giving in this fresh and liberating approach to decision making and the will of God. Story Behind the Book Most Christians have been taught how to find God’s will, yet many are still unsure whether they’ve found it. God does guide His people, but the question is, “How does He guide?” After “putting out a fleece” to decide which college to attend, Garry Friesen began pondering why it was so hard to find God’s will when he had so sincerely sought it. Was he the only one who did not have 100 percent clarity for every decision? Then a new possibility struck—perhaps his understanding of the nature of God’s will was biblically deficient. Maybe there was a better way to understand HOW God guides.

Donna Bowman utilizes the work of process thinker Alfred North Whitehead to develop a doctrine of election that dialogues with the view of Reformed theologian Karl Barth. Taking seriously Barth's contention that election is the best of all words that can be spoken about God, Bowman reinterprets Whitehead's description of God's provision of the initial aim to each entity as the central cosmological and theological fact of universal election. By combining Barth's concerns with process categories, she concludes that both systems are aimed at common theological and philosophical enemies.

How can I know what God wants me to do? We make choices, and then our choices makes us (or break us!). This is true of "big" decisions of course, but "little" decisions are just as important because they lead to the big ones. All of our choices are the threads in the fabric of our future. Ultimately, our decisions are so important because they have ramifications beyond this life, and into eternity. What's more, the way we make decisions is a central part of our personal relationship with God. We need to learn how to make good decisions so that will be able to make the best choice immediately, and instinctively. In clear and thoughtful steps, Swavely uncovers and explains the principles that God uses to lead and guide us including: how we should consider feelings, impressions or prompting, circumstances, counsel, desires and prayer. This brief yet relentlesly biblical book also helps us avoid some common errors that can rob our joy, and send us off in the wrong direction. Here, in this the theologically grounded volume, you will gain the wisdom and discernment necessary to practice God's way of making good decisions that honor him.

You make decisions every day, and it is truly one of the most essential elements in your daily life. More importantly, as a believer, your future success in manifesting the promises of God in your life is rooted and grounded in your resolve to seek God and His Word in your decision-making. You see, it is vitally important to know and to understand that God has empowered you for decision-making. That power--His power--is inside of you! While the enemy has tried to take this liberty and gift away from you, you only have to seek God to make a decision based on the Word of God! With godly decisions based on the Word of God and a made-up mind, there is absolutely nothing-- including the enemy--that can stop your decisions from coming to pass! But the enemy uses weapons of confusion, doubt, fear, and unbelief to flood your mind to stop or hinder you from making a decision based on the Word of God. God wants you to understand and believe this; His Word is true, and it never changes. He always gives everyday answers to your everyday questions! You have a position in Christ, through a relationship with Him, where the word of the Lord dwelling on the inside of you eliminates all confusion, doubt, fear, and unbelief in your life.

This process empowers you to experience as well as manifest Christ on the earth. As you read God's Power of Decision Belongs to Us, don't allow anything to take your mind captive!

Just keep your mind dedicated to Him, and you will see the manifestations of the awesomeness of your God as He adds His power to your decision-making. A heart of commitment to move forward, a made-up mind not to turn back, and the Word of God as a guide is all that is needed to experience the manifestation of God's glory in your life.
