Product Description
The phrase "the will of God" is used loosely, says Leslie Weatherhead, and the consequence of that looseness to our peace of mind is serious. Weatherhead's recognition of this problem led him to write The Will of God, a classic that has helped more than a million grieving persons better understand the meaning of the phrase. It can help you as well.

It was during the tumultuous era of World War II that Leslie Weatherhead preached five sermons on understanding the will of God for the congregation at City Temple in London. These sermons became the classic book The Will of God, which has helped hundreds of thousands of Christians explore how God's will is related to God's character and ultimate intentions for us.

A six-week workbook study is also available that uses three case studies to illustrate the questions that arise in understanding the book #0687008409.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Answers to Tough Questions, March 3, 2000

By	Rev. L. Bradley (Fort Worth, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Will of God (Paperback)

This is an outstanding book to begin to gain an understanding of our loving God and God's will for human beings. Though they sound simple they are deeply reaching and complex answers to the painful experiences in our personal lives and the world's events. All answers are not found here. What is found here is a greater understanding of our God, a God of love rather than wrath and punishment. It offers us a look at a God of grace who resides with us at all times and works within the activities of our lives and the world to overcome the evils we do to ourselves and all of God's creations. I hand this book out to all with whom I am in ministry and will continue to do so free of charge to them. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is genius, and has stood the test of time., October 13, 1998

By	Poppy's Girl "Simply Red Fan" (OK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Will of God (Paperback)

The Will of God is a book that is not overwhelming for a person that is suffering a great loss in their life. I have been handing this book out to many people that have suffered the loss of a loved one, or have had bad things happen in their lives, and it explains, without questioning the omnipotence of God, how God helps us deal with loss and how to help someone else. I recommend that every Christian buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the more readable books concerning the will of God, July 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Will of God (Paperback)

Often we hear the phrase "will of God" being applied inappropriately - such as when a friend is killed in an auto accident. Though this book was written during WW II, its theme is just as relevant today as then. Weatherhead distinguishes between the Intentional Will of God, the Circumstantial Will of God, and the Ultimate Will of God. The book is very readable and when I have reviewed it for groups of people, there is an immediate positive response to what they have heard.
