Page 1 of 3  Decision Making
Garry Friesen and Robin Maxson have assembled a thorough, thoughtful and biblical approach to making decisions, both big and small. The opening narrative is representative of typical questions concerning God's will for our (my) life. As the characters attempt to help one another with their life changing decisions (marriage, career, mission work, etc...) they employ methods common to all of us; prayer and advice. They also utilize techniques such as “throwing out a fleece” and “open door / close door” and waiting for the Spirit to guide them.
Friesen and Maxson quickly disassemble and debunk much of the “traditional view” of decision making in the next section of the book. “Throwing out a fleece”, “open door / close door” and waiting for the Spirit to speak are not valid biblical methods for determining God's will for the individual. Point by point and scripture by scripture they prove the bible does not support an individual's ability to get an answer concerning specific decisions in one's life.
