Publisher Description
What is God’s will for your life, and how can you be sure you’re following His path? Trusted pastor and bestselling author of The Gift of Prayer helps you discover God’s purpose in this practical and insightful guide to hearing His voice.
We hear so much about God’s great purpose for our lives but what exactly does that mean? Does the Lord really care about the course we take? Is His path really better than what we can figure out on our own? And if so, how do we discover what He desires regarding the decisions and challenges we face every day—especially when the road ahead appears so confusing?
God’s will for you doesn’t have to remain a mystery. In fact, your heavenly Father wants to reveal the plans He has for your life. In this book, Dr. Charles Stanley, beloved pastor and respected Bible teacher, teaches you how to discern what it is, see the different ways God communicates His plans, shares wisdom on how to know you’re really hearing Him, and gives specific steps to walking in God’s will for your life.
Whether you’re facing a major life decision, planning for the future, or simply trying to walk with the Lord day by day, The Will of God can help you draw closer to God and discover His awesome plan for your life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stanley (Relying on the Holy Spirit), senior pastor of the First Baptist Church in Atlanta, offers advice in this hopeful work for Christians who feel unsure of God's plan for their life. For Stanley, a relationship with God through daily connections to the principles of Christianity is critical. In sermon fashion, he outlines God's communication methods: communication (through scripture and prayer), counsel of fellow Christians, conscience (one's inner voice is the voice of God), common sense, and contentment (finding the divine in the ordinary). He lists factors such as personal desires, sin, fear, doubt, anger, self-worth, ungodly influences, and guilt that influence choices and interfere with being able to ascertain the will of God. He cites examples in his personal life where he felt God's will, such as when deciding to buy a car (did he really need it?) and whether to accompany young friends to a pool hall (though he was tempted, he knew he needed rest). Many of the scriptural passages he quotes are meant to offer encouragement to readers who feel distance from God's message: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Stanley's fans will enjoy these simple, clear ideas for discerning God's plan.

Must Read for Believers seeking the Will of God for they’re lives
Dr Stanley is a tremendous teacher of the pure unvarnished uncompromising incomparably truthful word of God. This is such a practical and easy read. He doesn’t deviate from the tried and true unadulterated word of God. Scripture is weaved so seemly and practically to every page of this wonderful book.
Amazing Book!
So thankful for this book. I’ve been really trying to discover if I am aligned with God’s will for my life and this book really helped me discover so much! Very thankful for Charles Stanley sharing his gift with us!
Biblically Sound
The author is obviously reputable, everything stated is backed by scripture. If you are trying to find God’s will, needing confirmation, or even have inner issues that need to be addressed, this is a great book. Also, please read the Bible in its entirety before reading any books written about God and Faith. I say that because, if you don’t have your own understanding of the word of God, everything else should be taken as opinion. You should know how to fact check books against scripture in its true context. With that being said, this is a solid book.
