Description
What does God want? Sounds like a simple question, but if you give it a bit of thought, it’s really not. For starters, you have to know who’s asking the question. People will ask it for a lot of different reasons. It’s pretty obvious that the question is a religious one. Questions about God naturally get filed in that folder. If you’ve spent a lot of your life in church, you might think you already know the answer. You might know parts of it, but I can guarantee you’ll see a lot that’s new here. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill “Christianity 101” book. Unfortunately, the thing that most often gets in the way of the wonder of the story is religion, and that isn’t what this book offers. And if you’ve never been in a church or heard much about the Bible, don’t worry. You’ve got nothing to unlearn or re-learn. It’s all fresh. That makes you an ideal reader. So what does God want? Best-selling author, Dr. Michael S. Heiser, shows readers that the answer is pretty simple. God wants YOU. That might surprise you. You may doubt it. That’s okay. But it’s the right answer. But it isn’t enough of an answer. You can’t get a sense of how amazing and profound the answer is by just that one sentence. There’s actually a long, remarkable story behind the answer—one that isn’t well known by most people interested in the question. Read more

GET THIS BOOK!!!!!
Format: Paperback
The book What Does God Want? by Michael Heiser is a simple but powerful book that helps us understand what God’s real desire is for people. It’s not a book full of complicated theology or hard words—it’s about relationship. Heiser reminds us that from the very beginning, God has wanted a family. He wants to be in relationship with us, not just as servants or followers, but as sons and daughters who share in His purpose. One of the things I really appreciate about this book is how clear it is. Heiser explains that God’s plan has always been about bringing people back to Himself. Sin separated us, but through Jesus, that relationship is restored. He points out that salvation isn’t just about getting to heaven one day—it’s about walking with God right now, living with Him, and representing His kingdom on earth. Heiser also helps readers see that God’s will isn’t complicated. We often spend our lives wondering, “What does God want me to do?” But the truth is, God first wants us to know Him. When we walk in relationship with Him, everything else falls into place. It’s not about a list of religious duties—it’s about love, trust, and obedience that comes from the heart. I like how Heiser connects the story of the Bible together. He shows how God’s heart for His people never changed—from Adam and Eve, to Israel, to the church today. God has always wanted people who would reflect His image and share His love with the world. In the end, this book points us back to the simplicity of the gospel: God loves us, He wants us to be part of His family, and He wants to work through us to reach others. That’s what God wants. If you’re looking for a book that reminds you of what really matters in your walk with God, this is it. It’s simple, truthful, and full of grace. It helps you see that God’s greatest desire isn’t about religion—it’s about relationship.

Good read...short and to the point!
Format: Paperback
I just finished this short read and to the point. I've been a follower of Jesus Christ for many years. At times, we all struggle and drift from being "on fire" to less than that. This was a great encouragement that God wants us in His human family, He secured a way for us all to be a part of that family, and desires that we exercise our believing loyalty to Him through discipleship.

A Silent Witness Tool
Format: Kindle
The more I read this book, the more amazed I get. I bring the physical book with me whenever I will be somewhere for a time. Recently, getting my oil changed turned into a 5 hour ordeal. No matter, I can read the book again. After 3 hours, a young man came in, sat a few empty chairs away and then asked me if he could order a copy of 'What Does God Want'. He was a new believer and so hungry for the Truth. We talked and talked. I gave him the book as I always have extra copies in the car and at home together with the New Testament in paperback. If they don't have a Bible, I give them one. Also spoke with several others, some were interested, others not so. Doesn't matter, what matters is the Word getting out - only Jesus can forgive...by grace through faith, not of anything we do, so no one can boast. Jesus is the only Way, Truth and Life...So spread the Word to hungry souls! Isn't that what we need to do? God bless you!

I highly recomend this book for starters of for "resetting"
Format: Kindle
This book can be seen as a summary of the Bible Epic. A rich introduction to God’s plan, always based in Scripture and sound theology. This is a great book to offer to someone as a gift to start understanding the whole picture of God's plan, or a book for those who need to go "back to the basics". Although it's an academic book, it is filled with rich theology in an easy to read language, typical of Michael Heiser.

Excellent for New Believers & Old Alike
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book! My husband is really into all of Michael Heiser’s books so I bought them all for him. I read this one myself since I saw it lying around and have been wanting to learn more about who God is. It talks about how we are God’s family members and how that all came to be. I would highly recommend for someone who wants to understand their identity in the family of Christ or just know more about the Bible. He explains it well and from the point of view that new Christians are reading the book and want to learn about it for the first time. Although I think it is great for even long-time Christians as well. Great book!!

If you are curious about what God wants from us, here is the answer
Format: Paperback
I'm a BIG fan of Dr Heiser, but this is one of his best for lay people. Individuals who are looking to know what is it that God wants from us? Here is your answer. So many people are afraid to commit to the "church" or accepting God into their lives because they are afraid of the "cost." This book addresses this in such an amazing way. What does God want. For the Christian who is working SO hard to be perfect, yet feels they are never making the mark and asks themselves, what is it exactly that God wants from me? This book has your answers. So many answers to the same question to so many different people in different situations in their lives. But this book answers all of those questions in such simple easy to understand language that you can't help but understand. AND the answer is easy to accept. It is such a relief in so many ways to finally, truly understand the answer to that question: What Does God Want? From me, from my life, from my family, from my money, from everything in my life. Find out today!

The one book I would ever buy en masse to pass out to anyone & everyone.
Format: Paperback
Want to know why Christians (should) consider God such a hero and not the villain, or boring crusty grandpa pop culture makes Him out to be? Or as pagans, why your gods seem a little unreliable and aloof? Witches are you tired of the cloak and dagger "secret knowledge" gate keeper stuff where the answer to everything is always "the next level up? If you want total transparency and to know where you stand, read this very slim little book. Heiser deals with you straight and documents everything from ancient texts. He is the one author you can read where his annotation is regularly longer than the actual words of the text he's writing. Your desire to "go home" to some utopia isn't an unnatural one. You have a home and it's not "oblivion", or chaos, valhalla, or hedes. You need the home that fits like a glove and is more than you could ever expect. Read his book. Heiser is awesome at respecting people from different amazing backgrounds and experiences. Hope to see you on the other side.
