REVIEWS: GOD'S DESIRE How To Please God
☆☆☆☆☆ 5 out of 5 stars
Debbie Chatley ~ I loved it. Very down to earth yet thorough. It was amazing. Down to earth guide to Christian growth
Comprehensive guide to Gods will for us laymen and laywoman. I wish I had this book 20 years ago. This book very thoroughly but simply lays out the sovereign, the general and the specific will of God for each Christian. The author uses models, or diagrams, to visually display that which is being explained and that makes all the difference. The models allow me to see the interactions between the various elements and serve as a memory jogger as well. This is a book I will be referring back to often. In fact this is one of those books you should reread again every couple of years. I recommend this book to fellow Christians whether new believers or believers who have walked with the Lord for 30+ years like myself. I was especially enamored with the middle section dealing with the Christian Life model. This is where the author lays out the details about the general will of God, which is really just an overview of the essential parts of living the Christian life. I have never read a better guide to the Christian life.”
