| Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really. by Thomas Nelson Walking With God | | Excellent book. Gets into the trenches of hearing God for ourselves, realizing the scriptural promises that God wants to talk to us, and all done through the author's real-life journey - the ups and downs - of hearing God versus the clatter of our own fervent will to get what we want for ourselves (which often proves to not be what is best for us). Very inspiring and encouraging book, well worth the read - more than once.Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really. | | Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really. by Thomas Nelson This is what churches across America are NOT teaching | I've long been a John Eldredge reader. God has bless him with an "awakening" interpretation of the Bible.
I have been a Christian for most of my life. I'm 35 now, and I've REALLY only come to what a "relationship with Jesus" really looks like, in the last 5 years. And especially in the last 3, since I've come to understand Him better through John's teachings. John Eldredge has been a conduit of God into my life, and this book is simply the culmination of what he has learned. I devoured this book quickly. It reads easily, with many things that you'll want to go back to and chew on again later. Bring your highlighter and several bookmarks! FIVE STARS. | | Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really. by Thomas Nelson Insight Into One Man's Walk With God | I've enjoyed several of John Eldredge's previous books, so I was looking forward to jumping into this one.
The good: he gives you a behind-the-scenes look at his conversations with God over a year's time. It's usually interesting to see what people are talking to God about and that's true here. There are multiple moments when his comments will remind you of things you've also gone through.
The bad: I felt he goes overboard in a couple areas. The first is that everything for him is a spiritual battle. I do believe in spiritual warfare, but that doesn't mean every little problem you encounter is demonic. The second is that he seems to be constantly finding that things bring up all these deep problems from his childhood or early adult life. Again, I know that's sometimes true, but is everything ultimately about why I had low self-esteem in junior high or similar issues?
Ultimately, he doesn't fulfill the book's subtitle. It's interesting, but not filled with the insights I was hoping for. | | Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really. by Thomas Nelson Over the Top | John reveals his true colors on this one and their disappointing and alarming.
Having come out of the "Hearing the Voice of God" camp which interestingly enough always seems linked with big doses of "Hyperdemonology", John falls right in line. This new book happens to have a couple big problems (several small ones too) which will damage more than help.
First, hearing God's voice is very subjective at best. Oh, you can assume whatever you want, but not every voice you hear in your head is God's, no matter how sincere you may be. It's the frequent, erroneous messages that really screws people up in this camp, and trust me I've seen the damage first hand! Next, John will be at 7-11 asking God, Pepsi of Coke?
Second, John's hyper-demonology shows itself in his schizophrenic tone in this book. Yes, we do have an emeny and he is active. Unfortunately, he is most active in those who are self absorbed and constantly introspectve. God wants us fixated on Him and His glory. God has put His redeemed in good Hands. Yes we need to fight, but we do not need to fixate, there's a big difference. And the transference John speaks of is simply extra-Biblical and dangerous, more evidence that John has clearly lost his equilibrium. I can only hope his next book is on grace, he desperately needs to hear its message.
Sad to say coming from a big John E. fan, save your money on this one. | | Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really. by Thomas Nelson A Year With God | If your like me, a fan of John Eldredge, as soon as Walking With God was released, you were either on the internet, or in your favorite local bookstore ready to pick up a copy. I've often wondered what it would be like to spend a day, a week, or a month with Eldredge. Canoing the waters of the wild west, leading a cattle drive like the cowboys of yesteryear, or hunting wild elk. His books stir in my soul a yearning for the beauty of God's creation, and a longing to walk with God in deep relationship.
This book represents a unique look into the journal entries of Eldredge over the period of a year. There are no chapter divisions, simply a catalog of the seasons as they come and go. Eldredge invites us to walk with God over the course of a year with him, through the good times, the bad times, and the strange times that life offers up to us.
This book will stir your heart, and challenge your mind. It's narrative is inviting and easy to read, you feel as though you are in deep conversation with a close friend. Eldredge has the ability to share with you his life in an authentic manner without pretense. Eldredge will challenge you to view every event in your life as spiritual, from the moment you wake, until you lay your head on the pillow at night, God is intimately involved in a relationship with you.
Eldredge challenges our assumptions about spirituality, and our view of God in a non threatening way. This book has the ability to stir the deep desires of our hearts, challenge our faulty views of God, and spur us onto living in deeper relationship with God, all in a unique narrative approach.
This book will be a great help to anyone seeking a deeper relationship with God. | | Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really. by Thomas Nelson Product Description | Walking with God moves through a year in the life of John Eldredge showing and teaching what an intimate relationship with God looks like day to day. God longs to speak. And it is our right and privilege to hear His voice. Our deepest longings could all find sufficient fulfillment in God's company. Yet, somehow, the looming discontent of most Christians is a lack of intimacy with God. Walking with God is unlike any book John has written. It moves through a year in his life showing and teaching what conversational intimacy with God can be like. It teaches readers how to make decisions aligning with God's will, understand barriers and "agreements" keeping them from the life God intends, fight spiritual battles for their own heart and for others, and much more. Ultimately, Walking with God shows readers that walking intimately with Him can be a normal part of the Christian life. |
