Customer Reviews

This book is repeatedly a life changer

I have read and re-read this book and listened to and re-listened to the audio version. WHen I begin to rely on others to meet my needs and as I continue to be disappointed I find no better book than this one to put things back in perspective. I love Charles Stanley and seek his wisdom in my toughest times (after seeking the Lord). This book is invaluable when I am struggling with my unmet earthly needs. You can read any review for what the book covers but I just wanted to express what it does for me spiritually. God bless.

God has the answers and God will provide!

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus," notes Philippians 4:19. The crux of Stanley's message is that God knows us and all of our unmet needs. Charles Stanley offers moral support to Christians and Scriptural exhortation. Jehovah Jireh provides all our needs, and when we walk in faith, he brings us to where he wants us. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose," declares the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:28. It doesn't mean life goes peachy for Christian and is devoid of trials and afflictions, but the all things are working together for our good, our sanctification, and our final redemption when we're raised in glory. For those of faith, God is our sustainer, and he will make adequate provision for us when we turn to Him and acknowledge our dependency on Him to supply our unmet needs. Stanley exhorts reader to trust in God, seek fruits of patience and love. Charles Stanley has assembled another great inspirational and insightful pick-me-up for Christians on their spiritual journey.

This book changed my life!

Dr. Charles Stanley clearly defines needs and wants in this both insightful and inspirational book. He helps the reader understand their wants and needs, then leads the reader to successful methods to fulfill those needs. This book sincerely changed my life. Things that most of us consider needs are really wants and each chapter places the reader closer to fulfillment for those wants and needs. I occasionally pull out the notebook I kept while reading this book as a reference and inspiration. I picked up this book when trying to better understand God's plan for me in life. I had so many questions about my path in life and was angry with myself because I could not achieve those things. This book helped me answer many questions and move toward peace. This book is a must have.
