Revealed: God's Will for Your Life
Charles Specht

"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and self-control." -II Timothy 1:7

God has the answers for all of life’s important questions. Questions like: Which college should I attend? Should I marry this person? Should we homeschool our children? Should I quit my day job in order to pursue my true passion? And even, should I share the gospel with my neighbor?

Yet if God has the answers to all of life’s pertinent questions, then why does it seem He so often withholds those answers from us?
