Overview

In this third edition of What to do on Thursday Adams sets forth a method for dealing with problems that occur in your everyday walk as a Christian. How does a believer determine what God would have him do in life’s many baffling situations? The simple answer is, “Turn to the Bible.” Good but then what? Christians are rarely instructed about how to use the Scriptures in their decision making. So, when problems arise on Thursday (or any other day of the week) they are at a loss about what to do. They find the Scriptures useful for devotional uses, but not for decision making. If this is the case in your life, What to do on Thursday will end such perplexity—once and for all.
