(  ) Raddai | Jul 29, 2009 |  A very thorough 13 week course designed to be used in a group study setting. However, I am doing this on my own and have benefited from the different direction the authors take in their approach to conversing with God and learning to let God work through you. ( ) drj | Mar 30, 2009 | I worked through the workbook years ago with friends from church. This book pretty much mirrors the workbook and presents it in a readable, book format. Content is pretty much the same. Having said that, this is an awesome book. Presenting ways in which we can know God's will and then how to go about doing God's will. This is one that any Christian should read and I for one was encouraged by it and am now "hearing" God speak to me each day in many ways. I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to experience God fully. ( ) harpua | Jan 22, 2009 | Outstanding in concept and perspective. I did get impatient with the rather simplistic writing style, which becomes boring after a while; but the content is extraordinary and certainly gives food for thought. It also clarifies many things about walking with God. (  ) sandib | Nov 27, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Knowing God does not come through a program, a study, or a method. Knowing God comes through a relationship with a Person. This is an intimate love relationship with God. Through this relationship, God reveals Himself, His purposes, and His ways; and He invites you to join Him where He is already at work.
This is the central thesis of Experiencing God by Henry T. Blackaby and Claude V. King. The authors' emphasis on revelation through personal relationship makes faith sound like a true adventure--leading believers to engage with people and circumstances they might otherwise have avoided. The organization of Experiencing God adds to this effect, proceeding step by step through the various ways a believer's relationship with God is deepened (via the Bible, prayer, and the Church, among others). Although there's strong tension between the self-help tone of this book and its hard-line argument that faith is purely a response to God's initiative, many readers will nevertheless find great encouragement in hearing a still, small voice among a vast number of everyday experiences.
