Experiencing Success God’s Way
Overview
Can you live a godly life and still be successful? The answer is yes! The key lies in understanding success as defined by God. While the world sums up success as fame and fortune, God defines success in terms of relationship, character, and obedience. Dr. Stanley demonstrates how you can hurdle the roadblocks that stand between you and your goals. You will discover that God wants His children to succeed, and has designed and equipped you for that purpose.

“But in the end, every person has as his or her deepest desire inner peace, joy, contentment, health and wholeness (spirit, mind, and body), feelings of spiritual security, the hope of eternal life, family love, and a living relationship with God.” (Page ix)
“God’s commitment to our success is related to our courage and to our obedience in keeping His commandments.” (Page 14)
“If you hold any of these attitudes, I want to share this good news with you. God does desire for you to be successful. He is deeply committed to your success, if you are willing to pursue success His way and to adopt His definition of success. And yes, Christians can be successful—including you.” (Page vii)
“Success is to be found in the way in which we live out our lives day in and day out. It is to be found as we pursue what God calls us to be and to do. Success is not the end of a process. It is how we undertake the process called life.” (Page 15)
