| Description |
"It is our deepest need, as human beings, to learn to live intimately with God."
John Eldredge has been writing about walking with God for over ten
years. His latest
book, Walking with God, is his most deeply personal and may become
his most controversial as well.
Walking with God is not structured as a typical book at all:
instead, it is a written retelling and explanation of his own walk with
God over the course of a year. It has no specific goal or direction; it
is simply his life day by day, and how he saw God guiding, teaching, and speaking to
him.
Interspersed with these personal experiences are explanations of
his own worldview and approach to walking with God. Two core issues he
spends a lot of time with are spiritual warfare and conversational
intimacy with God.
Eldredge's view
of "conversational intimacy" is that God really can speak to us, to
enlighten and guide us, and that we can learn to listen to His voice. Walking With God is a profoundly challenging book that shows the reader a path to a richer and fuller life.
Reader Comments
"The writings and teachings of John Eldredge continue to bring me to places
of deeper intimacy with My Father. His works have served as an instrument
of healing, victory and freedom in my life. Walking With God continues to
take me down that path."
"John takes us on a journey with him throughout a year and sharing his
walk with God. The startling and intriguing part was how close his walk
relates to mine ... the struggles and issues ..."
"I found this book to be quite challenging. Yes, God is interested in
the details of our lives. Once we understand that fact, we're on our
way to engaging the heart of God on a personal basis."
