Charles Stanley helps you recognize and begin to live with the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit by challenging you in three parts to look up, within, and ahead. Life abundant - Jesus promised it and we long for it, yet few Christians seem to have it. Blending lively anecdotes, commentary, and teachings from the Bible, Charles Stanley introduces you to the Holy Spirit. He is not an oversized electrical current you just plug into when you need additional help, or a theological concept, but just as real and active as Christ.

Living in today's world can be challenging as well as draining.

Story
Prayer is communication. It is not a formula that we have memorized, or an empty repetition of words and phrases, but our conversation with God—with us first speaking and then listening to what God has to say to us in return. Yet as Dr. Charles Stanley reveals, our prayers go beyond mere human interaction in that they give us access into the very throne room of God. Our heavenly Father grants us the privilege to come before him with authority because of our position in Christ. When we do, we can be bold in believing that God will accomplish what He promised He would do in our lives.

With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is "the size of thing that makes them angry."

Dr. Charles Stanley addresses nine main landmines that every Christian needs to be able to identify.

Profound Insights, Faith Inspiring
This enlightening and endearing book is an anchor when honing in on prayer as it strengthens faith and creates the climate of prayer. The story and narration draws one into the content which is sacred scripture revealed by a very spiritually mature pastor and leader in the faith walk. Even after multiple listens, the content is still inspiring and spawns intimacy with God.
