As a young woman, I struggled with knowing God’s will for my life. I feared stepping outside His best as I asked questions like, What degree should I pursue? and Which men was I wise to date–or not? Now a seasoned believer, I realize following God’s will extends beyond a few simple questions. As I continue to listen for His voice, books like Follow God’s Will: Biblical Guidelines for Everyday Life by Brittany Ann, affirm my desire to “discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2).
Now a seasoned believer, I realize following God's will extends beyond a few simple questions. #followgodswill @brittanyann Share on XBrittany Ann, bestselling Amazon and ECPA author of Fall in Love with God’s Word: Practical Strategies for Busy Women and founder of Equipping Godly Women, just launched Follow God’s Will: Biblical Guidelines for Everyday Life with Esther Press.

Part 1: Discover God’s Will includes six chapters–each of which answers a guiding question. For instance, Chapter 1 is titled, The Two Greatest Commandments and anwers, What does God ask of us? Other topics in Part 1 include:
- The Four Calls on Every Christian’s Life
- Hearing God’s Spoken Word
- Making Wise Decisions
Part 2: Follow God’s Will completes the book following the same pattern. Actionable and practicle, some of its topics are:
- Cultivating Spiritual Disciplines
- Witnessing with Truth and Love
- Speaking Up Against Sin and Wrongdoing
Suggested Audience for Follow God’s Will
New believers or those unfamiliar with listening for God’s voice will appreciate Brittany Ann’s insight and guidance as she shares how to hear God’s voice through scripture, hearing the word, prayer, thoughts, conscience, feelings or desires, circumstances, and other people.
It’s also a great book/study for a mother to introduce and share with her teen daughter or for churches to share with small groups, especially when paired with the workbook. (See below.)
Follow God’s Will Deeper
Brittany Ann has also published a resource, Follow God’s Will Workbook, that incorporates exercises, scripture study, and an incredible list of printable resources. The resources are worth the purchase! When you buy the workbook, you can print:
- Bible journaling templates
- scripture verse cards
- Bible affirmations
- and more!
Favorite quote: If we believe the Holy Spirit empowers us to live godly lives, then it isn’t fair to expect nonChristians to live godly lives without Him.

Yes, believing He will guide is the thing that comforts me the most. I used to worry so much about missing God’s will; but if I’m depending on Him to lead me, I’ll get where I need to be. (But it will be in His timing – not mine!)
Jerralea, these are such wise words. Your words remind me of the verse, “My sheep know my voice.” If we’re attuned to Him, then we can trust we are heading the right direction. Waiting is the difficult part!

Tammy
This sounds like a wonderful resource, Tammy, especially for young adults as they look ahead toward the various life-chapters yet to unfold. It’s valuable for them to know that God speaks in a variety of ways, and to develop listening ears through Bible meditation, journaling, the wisdom of godly people around them, and God’s still small voice within. Thank you for bringing this book and workbook to our attention.
