Although I did not intend to, I ended up reading this book with my journal beside me. After each chapter I opened my heart to God, asking myself the same questions. The Holy Spirit led me through some life impacting issues. I especially appreciate the "lessons" on breaking agreements that I have made with the one who wants to steal, kill and destroy my life and relationships.
I highly highly recommend this book. I like his way of making his (and our) walk with the Lord simple, easy to do, and very real. I found Eldredge to be very clearly thought out and easy to read. I could hardly put the book down. He has inspired me to journal more, connect with the Lord on a more daily level, and realize that we are all in the same boat. I recommend this book to anyone looking to further their spiritual growth and walk with God.
This book is enjoyable, easy-to-read, and ultimately uplifting. I went through it with a small bible study group, and it is amazing to hear how this book speaks in the lives of others as well as my own.
Come on,how can anyone believe that a man who laces his book with words like "freakin" and "friggin" has a closer walk with God or any better insight than the average Christian.His formula prayer for spiritual battle is sooo long,the enemy would probably have him defeated before the prayer is even finished.Just couldn't see this book as a serious authority on the Christian walk.
I have been on a spiritual journey for a number of years, but never quite sure what I was looking for. I knew in my heart that something was missing, and now I know what it is. This book has taught me things about Jesus Christ, Spiritual Warfare, and how to hear from God and why we don't. This read has changed my life and I am eternally grateful to John Eldredge for showing the way.
