John Eldredge, Walking with God
I have found another great book for basic spiritual growth. If you enjoyed Wild at Heart by John Eldredge you will also enjoy his latest entitled Walking with God. At the core of being a disciple or follower of Jesus is the ability to listen to Him. If we can’t listen to Jesus how do we think that we can follow Him? As Jesus began His earthly ministry He was first tested in this basic discipline, listening to God. When enticed by the enemy to take matters into His own hands Jesus responds, “…people must feed on every word of God.” (Matt. 4:4).
Eldredge writes from his own journal how he has personally learned to listen to God. In a very transparent way he shows how he worked through the things that keep us all from even hearing God. He dealt with such things as disappointments, fears, sorrows, guidance, desires and getting his heart in the place where it could find true joy. Most of us are good believers but are we good followers? The book is one of the best in helping to develop this basic skill as a follower of Jesus.
