Story Behind the Book

Most Christians have been taught how to find God s will, yet many are still unsure whether they ve found it. God does guide His people, but the question is, How does He guide? After putting out a fleece to decide which college to attend, Garry Friesen began pondering why it was so hard to find God s will when he had so sincerely sought it. Was he the only one who did not have 100 percent clarity for every decision? Then a new possibility struck perhaps his understanding of the nature of God s will was biblically deficient. Maybe there was a better way to understand HOW God guides.
