The primary goal of this book is to help listeners come to a deeper understanding of the nature and character of God and how God works in the lives of his followers. Christians face many barriers in their efforts to grow in their faith, many of which are self-inflicted. Some relate to God as a stern judge instead of as a loving Father. Some struggle with the idea that growing in faith entails doing more studying, more serving, more Bible reading instead of being in a closer relationship with God and allowing him to do it.
