At some point, every Christian wonders, What is God’s will for me in this situation?

There are many situations for which Scripture doesn't provide a black-and-white answer. In this book, adapted from his larger work Christian Ethics, Wayne Grudem helps readers stop over-complicating God’s will and instead embrace the different ways they acquire wisdom for daily life.

He lays out guidelines for making decisions both big and small. After looking at the 4 dimensions of every action (the action itself, attitudes, motives, and results), Grudem works through 9 sources of information and guidance, both objective (information from the Bible, information from studying the situation, information about ourselves, advice from others, changed circumstances) and subjective (conscience, heart, a human spirit, and the Holy Spirit).

Readers will gain insight into how to make the right decisions about situations that arise in their lives.
