Awesome August 13, 2007

This book changed my life by helping me understand just how close Christ is to us who believe and seek Him. I don't ever have to be alone again and can practice the Greatest Commandment in all my life, and have complete joy in Christ. Daily Bible reading is also a must for me to help keep me turned away from the "world" and at the same time turned inward towards Christ Jesus who abides in me and in all. Praise God and Christ for new life!!!

This book seemed very interesting, however I found that even when its contents were explained simply, it's almost too vague or confusing for me to comprehend what the author is suggesting. In its shortest form, this book teaches Christians that meditation is the key to remaining focused on God and staying in His holy presence. However, it uses vauge suggestions like, "Now bring your self into the Lord's presence and just hold yourself there in silence." Now, I take it as if I could already bring myself into the Lord's presence, then I probably wouldn't need this book! However, late on the book does offer a little more explanation. But the true value of this book is when it goes in to describing the difficulties one can expect to face when trying to draw closer to the Father. This section of the book (luckily a large portion of the entire text) is by far the most useful and practical and on it's merits alone I would recommend this book to all but the newest followers of Christ. (Newer followers might not understand the issues discussed without a little "practical experience" under their belt.)
A must for all Christians February 22, 2007

This little book will help you get closer to God as you pray. It should be on every Christian's book shelf. It is a little hard to get in to, but don't give up - persevere - and you will be rewarded with a better prayer life.
A Christian Masterpiece. December 5, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Jesus said that eternal life consisted of knowing the Father, and Jesus Christ. Sadly, the experience that most Christians have with their Lord, myself included, is comparatively minute. This book has served as a marvellous help in my life to take steps toward knowing Him better.
To be honest, there were times I questioned its reliability to scripture, because she quotes little of it. Though recently in my studies I have found what she has explained to be confirmed in the Word. (For example: in Him we live and move and have our being. The Book of Acts.)
It is undoubtedly a masterpiece. Yet, I would also say that this book is only a guideline for knowing Christ deeper, and is definitely not the only way. Nor will you likely agree with all you read. Yet if you read it with a hunger to know Jesus more, you will not be disappointed.
awareness of His presence August 8, 2006

This book centers on reaching an awareness of God's presence in our daily lives. A way to achieve this is discussed and obstacles that may be encountered are addressed. If you are yearning for a closer relationship with the Lord, this book offers a way to do that.
