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."
