Customer Reviews

Wonderful Book, Terrible Tragedy

This book was a wonderful read, and it contains very honest, spirit-led and fresh approaches to the kingdom of God. Very sadly, the author Kyle Lake died today, leaving behind a young family. In his memory and honor, check out this book, and pray for his family, friends and congregation.

The Word is Refreshing

In the forwards and cover and in speaking with people about this book the word that comes up more often than not is "refreshing," and I give a hearty "Amen" to that. Being over the threshold of 30 I found myself grieving that I didn't have this book in the major transitional periods of my life. If you want to know what God's will is for you, make haste to get this book.

Truly Amazing

There are certain, special books that you read that you never forget. They are books that impact you to such a degree that your world is forever changed. This is one of those books. As people, regardless of whether we are believers and non-believers, all of us - like it or not - have a history with God. And, in arriving at that destination, where we attempt to reconcile truth/reality and the existence or non-existence of God, we all arrive with baggage. Often times we aren't even conscious of it. In his book, Kyle Lake identifies that baggage and invites you to leave it behind. This is a book that you will not forget because it will remind you that you are free to be you and much loved. An amazing book.

Great read!

Witty and insightful, Kyle Lake's Understanding God's Will is a must read for those seeking a fresh, honest approach to discovering what God desires in our lives. Lake skillfully navigates the reader through the trite formulas and truisms that have dominated- and dumbed down- the pursuit of God's will, replacing them with holistic, workable metaphors that inspire the reader to seek God with the whole of their lives.

great relief

this read has forced me to rethink how i view god's will. i'm honestly still thinking through it because i think i had previously understood god's "plan" for my life to be more of a "blueprint"--as argued against in the book. i just never realized it until now.
