Rev. Patricia Beall Gruits is one of America's foremost authors and lecturers in the field of Christian leadership training as well as a gifted speaker and seasoned minister. She has taught thousands of church educators from around the world in dynamic seminars on church growth and ministerial development. Her series of books, devoted to inspiring readers to know the reality of God and to understand every aspect of man's relationship with Him, began with Understanding God in 1972. Her defining question and answer format guides the reader to a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with God and reveals the reward of His infinite love. Subsequent books, "Understanding the Master's Voice" and "Understanding Yourself" utilize this proven format and further develop one's faith. Now this fourth and final book "Understanding the Winds of God" closes the circle and brings completion to understanding God's purpose for our lives. Sometimes the most difficult times are when storms appear and we are put to the test. It is in those turbulent moments that we all turn to God for comfort. Dr. Gruits is also the founder of Rhema International Ministries and Rhema International, which provide healthcare, food and education to the impoverished in Bocozelle, Haiti.
