What is God like? Can I trust him? Does he know me, and can he help me tackle the challenges I face?

Most people know a little something about God, but their knowledge of who he is and how he works stops just past the point of an initial introduction.

Why is it so important to know the One who knows all about you? The answer is simple: When you come to a point where you understand his ways, your life takes on new meaning. You stop looking at old problems and feeling defeat, fear, and anxiety. Suddenly, you realize that the Person who gave you life has set an amazing course for you to follow.

In Step with God offers simple, clear teaching that encourages and challenges you to approach life and its decisions-both big and small-by first knowing and considering God's character.

"The nearer I draw to the Lord," writes Dr. Stanley, "the more I will know about Him-His love for me and His good plans and desires for my life. Plus, the more intimate I become with God, the better I understand His way, and this understanding leads to a deeper longing to know God better. I learn how to discern His will for my life and the situations I encounter."
