How do I know I know God?

by Margaret Weston

“How do you know you know God?” is the challenge – “can you prove it?” This and many other questions are posed as the discussion between two people continues throughout this entire book. In the first part of the discussion the subject is whether it is actually possible to have a relationship with God – “God with us? So you are saying that because God wanted to have a relationship with us he came down to earth to be with us?” The second section then goes into specific detail about the author’s personal relationship with God – “Relationships are not always easy and when God challenges me it is not comfortable but it is necessary.”Each chapter starts with part of the conversation and then proceeds to explain the subject under discussion in more detail. A wide range of subjects are covered in the first part in order to show that God has done everything necessary so that we can have a personal relationship with him. The questions which arise in the continuing discussion are all based on the author’s personal experience – the book includes many questions she has asked herself and questions she has been asked by others. The message is clear that it is possible for you to know God because he has done everything necessary for this and shown beyond any doubt how much he loves you.The book is based firmly on the Bible and the author writes in such a way as to provoke interest and to simplify what some might see as a complicated matter – that of knowing God. If it is possible for me, then it is possible for you, is the message of her book. The book would be invaluable for you if you claim to be a Christian but are not sure whether you do have a personal relationship with God. It would also be helpful for those who have no faith and yet are intrigued by those who do. Those who belong to other religions may also find it interesting.Churches could find it useful in outreach work and Christians who know God may find it useful in discussions with their non-Christian friends, many of whom may well have asked them this very question – ‘How do you know you know God?’

About the author

Margaret's latest book 'One More for the Kingdom?' has just been published - July 2017. She is also the author of the 'How do I know?' series and the BSBP series. All the profit from her writing goes to Tearfund - a Christian charity working in many parts of the world to release people from both material and spiritual poverty. To find out more about Tearfund check out their website - www.tearfund.org and to find out more about Margaret check out her website www.howdoiknowbooks.com

The 'How do I know?' series arose from a desire to answer the many questions that Margaret has been asked by friends about God. It also includes many questions she has had in her own mind over the years.

'How do I know I know God?' is the first book in this series. The purpose of this first book is to point you to the Lord Jesus Christ and Margaret's desire is that if you do not know Him then you should come to know Him personally. She would recommend therefore that you read the Bible - by far the best book of all! - but if you read any of the books in the 'How do I know?' series then her prayer is that these will generate in you a desire to seek God and get to know Him better.

The BSBP series (Bible Studies for Busy People) are for a specific group of people - those who have a real desire to study the Bible but find they simply do not have the time. Life can be so busy and whilst there are many very good Bible Studies and Commentaries available, these can be quite off-putting for very busy people.

Margaret is an experienced Speaker and is also an Accredited Speaker for Tearfund. She works for this charity on a voluntary basis. Margaret has a degree in Theology from London University and has a great love for the Bible.

Reviews

[Barton Jahn · Rating 5 out of 5]

A well-written book filed with wisdom and sound Christian doctrine…it features a clever running dialogue between a Christian and a non-Christian…covering several core life issues.

The first in author Margaret Weston’s three-book “How do I know” series…this sets up the context for thoughtful insights in this two-person discussion…that pulls the reader along.

I highly recommend this book.
