Synopsis

“We make about two hundred conscience decisions a day. Most are small. Some are huge:

  • Should I marry the woman or man I've been dating?
  • Should I go to graduate school?
  • Should I leave the job I’ve been doing for fi fteen years?
    • Do I need to fi re someone who is working for me?Should we adopt a child?
What Does God Want? Is designed to help you make these decisions. It offers a fi ve-part process for decision-making that can help you chose the right course of action in matters large and small. Developed by Fr. Michael Scanlan during more than thirty years of spiritual direction, counseling, and teaching, this approach to decision-making is grounded in Christian tradition and tested by thousands in the real-life challenges of life direction, love, work, study, service, and relationships."

From the Back Cover

How to make good "€" and Godly "€" decisions

Should you take that job?

Pursue that relationship?

Buy that house?

What Does God Want? gives you the tools you need to overcome your doubts and make wise choices . . . all in accordance with God's will.

Here Fr. Michael Scanlan, former president of the Franciscan University of Steubenville, lays out for you the five critical questions you must answer as you wrestle with important "€" but naggingly difficult "€" decisions that keep you up at night.

Should you have that risky operation?

Move mom into a nursing home?

Report your son's marijuana to the police?

Over the decades, Fr. Scanlan's five simple questions have helped generations of his colleagues, students, and friends penetrate to the very heart of countless hard problems like these, leading them to wise solutions . . . and welcome peace.

From Father Scanlan you'll learn:

  • How you must pray before making serious decisions.
  • How to discover your real motives for preferring certain solutions.
  • The role that intuition should "€" and should not "€" play in your decisions.
  • How to determine if that still, small voice is God speaking to you . . . or the Devil!
  • "Signs" confirming your choices: are they really from God or just wishful thinking? Learn here how to tell.

And much more to help you grow in love for God's holy will and make good "€" and Godly "€" decisions!
