Beverly Lipford Carroll Releases HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In her new book, "He Wants You to Know" (published by WestBow Press), author Beverly Lipford Carroll offers a new direction for people who find that their relationships are shallow and superficial. She shows them how a profound and fulfilling relationship with God is possible through understanding his character.

Carroll describes "He Wants You to Know" as an examination of the metaphors God uses to teach his people about his heart and his character. Citing passages from the Bible, Carroll shows how God takes concepts that people understand, frames himself within those ideas and says, as Carroll puts it, "in at least some ways I am like that."

An excerpt from "He Wants You to Know":

"But in his mercy, God does give us glimpses of his character and his love by providing metaphors throughout his word to help us understand. Metaphors are comparisons not using 'like' or 'as'. God teaches us about himself using metaphors that we do understand. He introduced himself to Moses with the name 'I AM', and then began an awesome journey through the desert and through history. Day by day, story by story, he is still revealing himself to his children. His goal is that as we learn to see him as he is, we will become who he created us to be."

Carroll hopes to show readers how Christianity gives them a chance to form a relationship with God. "I want them to see that they are completely known by a God who utterly loves them, despite their mistakes and sins, and that this same God wants to be known by them," she says.
