Why Get This Book

If you know what God asks of you but can't seem to want it, you're not alone. Psychologist and spiritual director David Benner explores how the will is changed in the Christian life. He looks at why our desires are disordered and how our hearts can line up with God's. It's a gentle, honest book for anyone tired of white-knuckle willpower. This edition is expanded. Honest note: it's reflective rather than practical, so readers who want a checklist may get impatient. Next step: read Philippians 2:13 and ask God to work in you both the willing and the doing.
