This book of contemporary theology investigates and clearly illustrates various aspects of a people's lives once they become Christians.
It looks at the typical experiences that believers are likely to encounter during their spiritual journey, and how these experiences relate back to what the Bible teaches.
The book sets out to show that the principles involved are uncomplicated and within every believer's grasp.
The book explains how the Holy Spirit prompts the believer to do things, but never forces them to do it. It also shows that Christians should allow their 'Christ like' love to overlook the wrongs of others and accept them, because this kind of love provides hope instead of criticism.

This book has been written to enable all the Christians who read it to be guided by God in their everyday lives, and to know Him, rather than just know about Him. Many people for a variety of reasons are not open to how the Lord is moving in their lives, and as a result would not recognise Him when He tries to get their attention.
In Psalm 91:14-15 (RSV), God says of the believer,
Because he ‘cleaves to me in love’, I will deliver him; I will protect
him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, ‘I will’
’answer him’; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and
honour him (‘emphasis added’).
We see from this that when we reach out to God in love, He has promised to respond to our prayers. This means that we should consider the ways He uses to reply to us. There will be occasions when it is like an internal conversation, but there are other ways He uses to communicate with us, and we should be alert to them as well. This book explores these experiences with practical examples, to enable the reader to see how they work in their own life.
