For readers who feel there is something missing in their daily walk with God, Gloria Copeland explains that relationship-learning to talk with and listen to God in daily encounters-is what will change their lives. Knowing God requires a lifestyle of communion with Him. While religion creates numbing routine, relationship ignites the power to overcome sin and to prosper in every area of life. Regularly communicating with God strengthens believers, builds their faith, and makes way for them to lay hold of all God's blessings through Jesus Christ. Warm, personal, and inspiring, TO KNOW HIM is a friendly guide to discovering an exciting, promising relationship with God.

From the Author
The time I've spent with God has changed my life. And I can say with certainty that if you will spend an hour or two a day with Him, it will change your life, too.
How could it be otherwise? How could you possibly spend an hour or two daily with the kindest and most loving being in the universe without having it affect your life?
You may be facing problems today that seem to have no solutions. You may be caught in impossible circumstances. But I want you to know that God can change those things. If you will give Him a way into your life by fellowshipping with Him everyday, He will give you a way out of those impossible circumstances. He will help you solve those problems. He will move on your behalf until you can say, "All is well with me!" - Gloria Copeland

Best book ever, it saved my life twice..
I drive a lot and I get bored so I opened this book and tried to read a few pages. I was careful to wear my seat belt and use the cruise control. It's like talking to God on the cell phone while driving. After the first few pages I fell asleep and crossed the center line and hit a semi. My car was total loss. A large piece of metal came through the drivers side window and I held the book up and the book it stopped the metal from hitting me in the face. I would not have survived if I had not had that book in my face. God works in mysterious ways.
If you read while driving get this book but be smart and stay awake. It's a life saver. When I opened my eyes in the hospital and the first thing I thought that I'll never travel without this book.
The truck driver was so drunk he was charged and I wasn't. I bought several copies of this when i got out of intensive care i had read it twice and was able to stay awake. If I had not been reading the book when I crossed into the other lane that truck driver may have killed several more than he did that day. There was a 22 car pile up and i am still not sure how I got in the wrong lane. One eye witness said I was pushed because I was hit in the rear end and the next thing I saw was grill of a semi. I have learned to drink coffee when reading or praying while driving as God saved me twice as the truck driver got jail time.
Have faith and buy this book and thank God for taking control of my car when I went to sleep. Thank God for using a book about faith to save me as God knew there would be a wreck and he took control. He is a powerful God.
I want to read all Gloria Copeland books
This is now my second Gloria Copeland book which is another excellent read. I have enjoyed listening to Gloria Copeland for years, and years speak on T.V. and never inquired until recently into books that she has written. I usually only like a few authors, now Gloria Copeland is another one I can add to my list of good reads. I like when an author is consistent like Joyce Meyers and you can read all their material, Gloria Copleland is consistant in the quality of work she writes which keeps me coming back for more. Her books are good for the masses, she tells it like it is, she tells you what specifically you need to do to accomplish the job at hand. I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to know Him (God).
Before Gloria tries to instruct others she needs to know Jesus
The chief aim of this woman and her husband is to instill in their followers a desire for material wealth. In order to deceive their followers and in their attempts to satisfy their never-ending lust for wealth, they teach their sheep to plant 'seed faith' money into their co-called ministry. Ignoring the simplicity of faith (trust in God) they claim that sending them money is a demonstration of your faith. Supposedly, sending them money will 'release' your faith. Neat how that works.
In order to justify their wicked behavior, the Copeland's teach that Christian's are commanded by God to 'tithe'. In the Old Testament tithing was the Jewish practice of bringing a tenth of the crops, cattle, etc. to the temple in order to support the Levites (who received no allocation of land to grow crops), the foreigners, and widows and orphans (Deut. 14:28 & 29). Jesus, born under the law, came to fulfil the Torah (Old Testament Law) which had been a temporary measure to imprison the Jews under sin (Gal. 3:23-29). Christians have never lived under the law, nor should they desire to do so. Search the New Testament to see if Christians are EVER encouraged to tithe. They are NOT.
Nevertheless, the Copelands teach this false doctrine in order to enrich themselves, despite the constant warnings in the Bible regarding the desire for wealth and the decietfulness of riches. Have you seen the Copelands new 20 million dollar X-10 Jet? Please ask yourselves this question: is the lifestyle of the Copeland's lead or is their teaching consistent with the example Jesus lived or with his demand that we take up our crosses daily and follow him? The Copeland's are the modern Pharisees who rob widow's houses. I would venture to guess that the majority of their income is from homebound widows who live on a fixed income, the most desperate of our society. Please don't buy into their lies.
