In this book, the author discloses experiences in his life when he was making and relying on his own personal decisions prior to his commitment to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is his desire that these stories will enlighten us, to show us how ineffective our own thoughts and decisions can be without the Holy Spirit as our guide. His desire is to encourage us to allow the Holy Spirit to come into our lives by having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to guide our thoughts and intentions.
