My thoughts:
I thought the author laid out his thoughts carefully.
Short chapters, with one thought clearly leading to the next.
I appreciated that he makes it clear...whether a believer knows it or not, they are led by the Spirit. Based on Romans 8. So we never have to question that truth.
The author walks a careful line between supernatural knowledge, and the careful reasoned approach, after-all.. God can impart knowledge and help any way that he wants to. A proviso is provided though that one needs to be careful that counting on a series of impressions to make a firm decision needs to be weighed out. USE those impressions, appreciate all that God can do and how he can do it. Seriously. It's good, but sometimes those impressions do need to be weighted with reasoning.
There is so much truth in this book, it's just a little one at 48 pages and I wish I could tell you more about the truth contained within it's pages. So just go out and get it for yourself, really. :)
