This book is a challenging book. It shatters the illusion of American Christianity and brings to light what real Jesus Christianity is suppose to be about! Loved this book!! If you feel something just isn’t right, you want more Jesus, and you do not know what to do…read this book! I didn’t know what to say but exactly what is pointed out and Jesus showed up! I am reading the Francis Chan’s new book Forgotten God and it is looking to be just as challenging…pretty sure I will need my steel toes for this one too!
Intimate Friendship with God by Joy Dawson
This is a older book but a powerful book, at least it was for me talking a lot about the Fear of God! It made me realize how much I was lacking understanding what the true Fear of God is…the knowledge that it brought into the light for me still challenges me today when situations come up and I have to determine if I fear man or God more…and step out in my love for Jesus and be a man of love and integrity. I am learning to swallow my Pride!!
Fasting by Jentezen Franklin.
I highly recommend this book, very enlightening and encouraging! In a simple way he was able to explain the importance of fasting scripturally and with testimony! I am new to trying to implement fasting as part of my lifestyle but for the past month I have been regularly fasting off and on. Now I cannot say Jesus has radically changed my life again because of fasting because He started doing that 12 years ago and a few months back He started challenging me!
What I can say is that I have noticed how I desire more of God and to be in His presence. I still feel like I struggle with distinguishing His voice and my thoughts sometimes but it has been clearer. The increase in my prayer life has made me hungry for His word again! To learn all that He has to show me! Can I say it is all from fasting, No…but I can say that fasting has been a major part in it! Past couple weeks when I think of how I feel and felt in His presence I just long for more! This book has help give me direction in how to fast, why to fast, what to fast, and challenged me to fast!
