About the author
Charles F. Stanley
554 books685 followersDr. Charles F. Stanley is the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta, founder of In Touch Ministries, and a New York Times best-selling author who has written more than fifty books, and has sold more than nine million copies. He demonstrates a keen awareness of people's needs and provides Christ-centered, biblically-based principles for everyday life.
Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.

This little book has a lot of truth in it. Charles Stanly gives us key points to consider...God's love never fails, surrender is the starting point, connect with the ultimate power Source, trust God; He will move heaven and earth for you, obedience always leads to blessing, discover God's will and you open a door to radical hope and freedom - and more. The great thing about this book is that you can carry it with you either in your purse, book bag, or backpack. I definitely recommend this book to those who have just graduated from high-school or college, or to those who are currently in both.

this book was my third for 2013. :) i started reading the book during my application for a company. what i love about it is that every part of the chapter really touches my heart and i get to be amazed with my Father in heaven's plan for me. I highlight some of the contents and even write my thoughts on the side. Been using this for quiet time. I just stopped reading because I have this bad habit which is reading or buying another book while not yet done with the first one.

One or two redeeming qualities, but mostly contradictory drivel.
