Pleasing God is a practical resource for Christian living that inspires believers to seek the greatest honor of anyone's lifetime--to have the privilege of pleasing God. Christ's total forgiveness means that we do not have to earn our salvation. When we give our lives to Jesus, we are justified by faith alone. Good works are not required. Prayer is not required. Practicing total forgiveness is not required. Wow--what a gift! But chances are, if you have been born again you want to do good works. You want to pray. You want to forgive and love your enemies. You desire to please God. In Pleasing God, bestselling author and well-known preacher, R. T. Kendall, unfolds the meaning of persistent faith. Starting with the story of Enoch, Dr. Kendall explores biblical teachings that call believers to "find out what pleases the Lord" (Ephesians 5:10). With biblical teaching, personal stories, and humble wisdom, Dr. Kendall answers these questions:What pleases God (and what displeases Him)? Why should we please God? How should we please God? Imagine the joy and peace that will come from pleasing God more than seeking approval from others. The world needs this book!
