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.

this book has answered so many questions that i have asked so many pastors with no avail. my mind is filled with hope, where i thought i was alone. charles stanley is wonderful, and my own doctor says he has learnd so much more from his books. thank you, for helping me get through very bad times since 1996. i know that i am on the right road, for heaven, and God is my way to heaven thanks to charles stanley.

This book has it all for meeting needs and desires of the Christian male/female for your daily life that follows most of Dr. Stanley's sermons seen on TV.

"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.

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.

In his unique style Dr. Stanley reveals those heart-felt yearnings that seem to never go away. His list is so complete - identifying ones I never thought of! And, as always, he intergrates scripture thourghout the causes and solutions to the dilemna
leaving the reader with hope and a "road map" that ultimately brings one closer to the Lord - our provider even when it comes down to our unmet needs!

The central theme of "Our Unmet Needs" is that we should look to God to meet our needs instead of resorting to lies, manipulation, or disobedience.

The title is around 250 pages and contains 16 chapters with such topics as:

1. Reasons we experience delays in having our needs met.
2. Getting into the right position to having our needs met.
3. Looking at God's promises to meet our needs.
4. Looking at our needs to belong, feel competent, and to feel worthy.
5. Errors we face when we try to meet our needs in our own way.

My personal favorite was the chapter on why we experience delays. Sometimes we are delayed because of our sin, God wants to teach us patience and trust in Him, He has something even better in store for us than what we are praying about, or some other reason.

A good book and challenge to the reader to rely on God instead of self or others to meet our needs.

Read and enjoy!

I am now reading this book for the fourth time. I consult this book as much as I consult the Holy Bible. Why? Because this book forces me to tell and understand the truth about myself as well as the source of the problems that has created so many needs in my life. I highly recommend this book to any Christian who has reached a point in their walk with Christ where nothing but truth sets them free and apart from the world. Thank you Dr. Stanley for allowing the Lord to use you as a vessel to write such a glowing and thought provoking book. God Bless You!
