Enjoying God: Experiencing Intimacy With the Heavenly Father [Paperback]

S. J. Hill (Author), Margaret Feinberg (Collaborator)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2001

"What greater way could you glorify God in your life than by simply enjoying Him?" teacher and author S.J. Hill asks. "It's simple, but it's radical. Some may even call it revolutionary. Yet, I believe this is the heartbeat of Christianity. It's all about relationship with our heavenly Father, the true Lover of our hearts."

Enjoying God challenges and encourages believers of all ages to pursue a passionate and intimate relationship with God. It exposes how misunderstandings of the Creator can damage and jeopardize your faith, and uncovers a biblical understanding of God as Father. This book will move you from duty to delight in your relationship with Christ. Enjoying God features a foreword by best-selling author Mike Bickle.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Whole Reason We Exist!!!, December 1, 2001

This review is from: Enjoying God: Experiencing Intimacy With the Heavenly Father (Paperback)

This book is a "religion" killer! By "religion" I mean the stale deadness of what the world calls Christianity. (...) The message in this book will set you free from the stale traditions and legalism that has so infiltrated the church and tried to dictate your life with the Lord. (...) This book is full of grace and truth that will lift you out of the muck and mire of striving to "please God" into a new dimension of intimacy where it's so easy to just bask in His love and "Enjoy" Him forever! There are levels of intimacy with the Lord beyond your imagination and this book is a sort of doorway into this new and refreshing dimension of relationship with Him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoying HIM Again!!!, August 12, 2005

This review is from: Enjoying God: Experiencing Intimacy With the Heavenly Father (Paperback)

I innitially picked up "Enjoying God" being somewhat skeptical, not being sure how scripturally sound it would be. It started off somewhat slow and mildly dull and slowly drew me in. As the pages began to turn faster and faster my heart began to smile. By the end I felt refreshed with a renewed passion for my Lord. The title of this book is very appropriate "Enjoying God". This book has taken me back to my first Love in a way I was not expecting. I will be recommending this one for years to come.

This book has helped bring me closer to a personal understanding of God's love for me than any book except the Bible. The very keen spiritual diagnostics really help a person who has been hurt or who has just not broken through to the joy of knowing that God really, really loves ME! I am buying it for friends and family.
