‘A lovely invitation to bring ‘a smile to God’s face’.’ Tim Chester
How can we live for a higher purpose and pleasure in both this life and the next.
That is the subject of this short but thought-provoking book, which traces the theme of ‘pleasing God’ through the whole Bible, with Jesus at its centre, along with saints through the ages who have explored the same practical question. Whether read as a weekly Lent study, or at any time of year, Lee Gatiss offers a sure-footed and warm-hearted guide.
This book will help you grasp the Bible’s teaching on the subject of living to please God, as well as reveal how the Old and New Testaments fit together around that theme. Drawing deeply on the wells of the past, you will be inspired and equipped to live to please God in daily life.
‘A beautiful picture of the God-pleasing life.’ Donald John Maclean
‘A great read for anyone seeking happiness…’ Vuyani Sindo
