Faith Dancing: Conversations in good company

by Jill Briscoe

A further collection from the author of God's Front Door, The Deep Place and The Garden of Grace. "Joy is faith dancing. Peace is faith resting. "Sometimes our faith is tired. It seems to have nowhere to sit down and have a rest. It's hard to hope for better things and we need a helping hand. "It is at such times I go to the Deep Place where nobody goes, sit on the Steps of my Soul and breathe deeply. Through His Word help comes. Strengthened by such encounters I continue. Not just plodding, hanging on with grim determination to finish the course set before me, but with renewed joy - my faith dancing. "My prayer is that this little book will encourage your faith to sit down and have a rest too. Enjoy!"

If anyone just needs a lift me up and help me stand on my 2 feet book, this is it. I fell in love with Mrs. Briscoe when I read God's Front Door such a great book as well as a down to earth life lesson for what the Lord wants and what our flesh says we want. I loved all of Faith Dancing but there were some I truly loved.
1. Where Did I Leave My Life... (Page 102)
2. Surprise.... (Page 106)
These just touched me in a way that makes me think harder on my life and where God is taking me in my new season, he has me in... Recommend to all ages young and old so beautifully honest and the poems are just aww loving... Gina Clabo

I really want to read more of her writing on her conversations with God. I'm not really into poetry (this was about 45% poetry), but I enjoyed the rest.
