Knowing God’s will and his purpose and plans for our lives as Christians in today’s society, The book knowing God’s Will is a reflection of our Christian journey for allowing God to use us.

Knowing God: Mysticism in Christianity and Other Religions Mysticism, mystic experiences, and encounters with the divine are important—and even integral—to many religions throughout the world.
