LA PORTE, Texas, Aug. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- If you do a search on Google for the phrase "searching for God" you will find over 300,000 results. Many of these links lead to Donald Miller's site for "the Search for God Knows What". Others include titles like "Beginning questions in your search for God." You'll find personal blogs by believers and skeptics, frequently asked questions, Wikipedia definitions, and stories of spiritual journeys. Whether the links are intended for a Christian audience or not this staggering number of results reflects a basic human need. Whether it is verbalized or not we are all on a search for God. It seems that at some point each man, woman and child wants to know if He exists, who He is and how one can find Him.

For writer Valda Lawrence the answer is simple. God can be found in only one place--through a relationship with Jesus Christ. In her new book "How to Receive Jesus" Lawrence offers answers to questions like "Who is God," "Who is Jesus" and finally "Why should I receive Jesus?" She examines Jesus' life, miracles, death and resurrection, including how to have a personal relationship with God through Him. A Jamaican-born Christian who spent thirty years as a registered nurse, Valda Lawrence is passionate about sharing her faith with others. "The most important decision one makes in life is to receive Jesus," Lawrence says. "It is a lifestyle that determines our eternal destiny." In the preface she explains her purpose behind writing "How to Receive Jesus": "I would like people to know that Jesus loves them and that the reason He suffered and died on the cross is to redeem them back to God." For many who read Lawrence's short book the search for God may be over.
