If you are going to read this book fasten your seatbelt — you are in for a bumpy ride.
Peter Bloomfield decisively dismantles the traditional view of guidance (‘I feel the Lord is telling me’, ‘I want to know the Lord’s will for my life’, etc). Others have covered this ground before — most notably Gary Friesen in Decision Making and the Will of God — but I know of no UK publisher that has been prepared to tackle this difficult but important issue, and show that the language of most evangelicals is not only unscriptural, but arrogant, cultic and blasphemous — Bloomfield’s choice of words, not mine!
