From the Back Cover:

For decades, this book by noted Christian teacher, author and missionary, G. Christian Weiss, has provided numerous believers with clear biblical insight and instruction on pursuing God’s will for their lives. In addition to godly wisdom that comes from many years of helping pilgrims discover and fulfill God’s plans for their lives, readers will also benefit from its accounts of the experiences and advice of such saints as George Mueller, John G. Paton, Adoniram Judson, William Orr, F. B. Meyer, and others. Includes an added appendix by James McConkey on The God-Planned Life.

G. Christian Weiss was a noted Christian teacher, author and missionary during the mid-1900s. Among his other books are Wrong-Way Jonah…A Peculiar Kind of Missionary, On Being a Real Christian, The Heart of Missionary Theology, and God’s Plan, Man’s Need, Our Mission. Randall Caldwell is the author of Workday Christianity, a book that provides encouragement and instruction regarding the nobility and sanctity of our work, and the editor of The Religious Tradesman, an updated edition of the classic book by Richard Steele on applying biblical principles in business.


Excerpts:

From the Forward (by W.S. Hottel):

"Mr. Weiss repeatedly calls attention to truths which are almost altogether overlooked and neglected in these days of 'watered down' preaching and teaching. He goes to the bottom of things, reaching the heart and the will, as well as instructing the mind."

Chapter 4, p.32:

"Yet, how can we reconcile the inescapable fact that, although God desires to make His will for our lives known to us, many of us at the same time have great difficulty determining what His will is? What is the answer or solution to this apparent problem? Is our spiritual life out of alignment in some way? What is at the root of our difficulty?"

Chapter 6, p. 45:

"There is in this the thought of knowing God's will by experiment, by experience. That is, it cannot be known merely by an intellectual process, but through deep spiritual experience. If we would certainly, assuredly, doubtlessly know God's will for our lives, we must take seriously what God is telling us here. If we are not sufficiently sincere to obey his instructions, we are not sufficiently prepared to know God's will."

Chapter 9, p. 66:

"Let's now take a look at how we may develop this kind of mind (or mindedness) that is primarily spiritual, beginning with our willingness to prayerfully wait on the Lord for His revelation to us. Those who don't value God's will sufficiently to wait for it may very well be unworthy to know it. Therefore, before we can know God's will, we need to first properly value it."
