I normally do better with reading books than completing workbooks, so I read the book form of Experiencing God. Blackaby is very thorough with his points, an important characteristic of a good communicator when utilized correctly. I love his emphasis on a personal love relationship with God. If you don't have that, you're not going to hear anything from Him! We hear from God when we get to know Him and how He speaks, and the only way we can do that is by spending time with Him. Read the Word. Pr

This is one of those books where there is just not much you can say. It is a must read. I read it about 4 years ago and it was recently given to me again by some very close friends. I re-read it thinking that I wasn't looking for any big decisions but it reminded me that we need to be listening for God and seeing where he is working at all times. Not just big decisions but in our every day life. The truths contained in this book are very biblical and extremely pratical. It is a great way t

This book is cute and quirky, just like Zooey Deschanel. There are a few differences though.
1) This book is written in third-person, Zooey speaks in first-person.
2) I can pronounce the name of this book. How the heck do you say Zooey? Is it Zoe-y or Zoo-y? I'm stumped!
3) I can't hold Zooey Deschanel up at eye level with one hand.*
4) I'm not secretly in love with this book.
5) This book does not have a restraining order against me More...

This is an excellent book filled with great tips for increasing your walk with God. Practical ideas abound with examples to show how God wants to take part in all aspects of our life and how trusting Him leads to a life filled with the Holy Spirit.

A fantastic book to read! This book really makes you think not only about you faith and beliefs but focuses on your personal relationship with God. This book hits so many areas. It makes you question ow strong your faith is and how to strengthen it. How to draw closer to God and to see how He is working in your life.

This is an easy read, and its message is one most of us have probably heard. But it seems to be a message we easily forget, and for that reason, I would recommend the book. It also has some helpful things to think about when trying to "figure out" what God's will is in specific situations. Blackaby constantly points out that God's will is not given to us as a to-do list and that His will is always to reveal Himself to us and work His purposes through us. The book is very repetitive, bu

A book that - supposedly - helps people listen for God's voice, and develop a better relationship with him. Some good points, though a bit repetitive in places.

This is an excellent read or study with a group. Learn how to recognize God's hand at work so that you can join in and experience Him in you life.

An intense, dangerous, potentially life-changing book. A recurring theme is that God will have "assignments" for us to do -- but that the key to everything is our love relationship with Him. The author repeats himself frequently. He doesn't want you to miss his major points. A couple of guys in our men's group found the book to be frustrating and confusing, because the author keeps talking about Moses-scaled assignments. Most of us probably are going to get smaller tasks. I think the a

This book is extra special to me. I came to know it while studying at the Southern Bible School of Seminary while still living in Manila. We eventually used it as a bible study material. It transformed most of the lives of the members of our group in some very unexpected ways... From then on, this book has been a constant part of my part of my re-reads. I would encourage you to read the same.

This book is AWESOME! I can't say enough great things about it! God is always working around us, and He wants us to make ourselves available for Him to accomplish His purposes through us. We come to know God by having faith, taking action, and obeying Him. READ THIS BOOK!

I read this as a devotional: one chapter each day. It was great to interact with the questions posed throughout the book and I very much enjoyed taking a deeper look at my relationship with God through the perspective of this book.

I love this book for its common sense information on knowing the will of God. I have read it about every 5 years.... just because it is good for me! I am currently reading a chapter a day.

Finally got done with this after tabling a few times. It's good, but heavy. Bottom line, be obedient to God.

Love how it emphasized and connected having a LOVE relationship with God to knowing and doing God's will.
