I've read many, many Christian books, and "Pursuing the Will of God," by Jack Hayford, remains my favorite! This is a "must-read" for every Christian and for every person who is interested in learning more about finding the will of God, but feels like they've "bungled" it along the way. Pastor Hayford takes you through the life of Abraham, and his wife Sarah, in a way that reminds the reader of the grace that God prepared for each of us, from the beginning of time. We are reminded that in spite of a number of missteps, Abraham was and still is, today, known as the "Father of Faith." This book is very encouraging and insightful. It has helped me, personally, during some of the most trying times in my life. I would highly recommend this book! h-8

How have I not read more books by Pastor Jack Hayford? His insights inspire me to ask more questions and know God more deeply. His approach to Scripture is humble and thoughtful.
