Our Unmet Needs
Overview
We are a needy generation. We try to satisfy our needs with sin, disobedience, doubt, manipulating God and others, and more. But God wants to redirect our lives, teach us greater trust, and meet our needs in the light of His eternal purposes. Dr. Stanley guides the reader through Scripture to show that, in spite of our doubts and rebellion, God wants to meet our deepest needs. He shows that we have a High Priest who knows how we feel, is aware of our needs, and graciously desires and promises to meet these needs–in His time and in His way. Sound biblical teaching and real–life examples from this popular preacher will encourage Christians who want to tap into God’s supply for their lives.
