Certainly you can find all sorts of contests to compete in and a host of valuable prizes to covet in today's society. But in this book, Robb Thompson tells you how to win the true ultimate prize of life on this earth - the heart of your heavenly Father. Using men and women in the Bible as examples, Dr. Robb Thompson vividly explains what it means to be a person after God's own heart. In the process he tackles the all-important concepts of submission and covenant loyalty - scriptural principles that largely have been swept under the collective rug in Christendom today. As Dr. Thompson succinctly asks, "What else do you have in life if you don't have the heart of the Father?" That's a question that only you can answer for yourself. All the more reason for you to read this book!
