When I first read this book many years ago, I immediately ordered four-dozen more, and sent them to everyone I knew who was interested in HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL.

There are three indicators:
-The Bible
-Your witness
-Supernatural confirmation

When ALL THREE agree, you can proceed safely, knowing you are on God's track. The book deals with all the fine tuning necessary to be sure you have a clear understanding of what the three indicators are, and how to recognize them.

And, by the way amazon.com, thanks for keeping this great book available.

Oh, and the subtitle is "Discerning the Will of God," not "Descerning the Will of God," as you have it here.

Mumford draws from the Bible to offer guidelines on how to determine the will of God and this book is one of the best I have ever read on that topic. (One of the other ones I can think of is Kenneth Hagin's How You Can Be Led by the Spirit of God. The two books cover different aspects but they are both very helpful.) To summarize very briefly, he says there are three things you should look for in determining how God's will applies to everyday, real life situations: (1) the word of God (as revealed in the Bible), (2) the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, and (3) everyday circumstances. He backs this up with examples from the Bible and the testimony of his own life. The author is currently involved in a ministry which he calls the Lifechangers ministry. This is a great book and it has been a great influence on me in seeking God's guidance. It is one of a number of good books that he has written.

This book is a good cure for a single woman who thinks she wants to get married.

She may even want to join a convent . . . even if she isn't Catholic!

I finally did get married . . . after more than 25 years of trying to get this blantant piece of male chauvinistic writing out of my system.
