Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has forever changed my walk with GOD, November 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God (Workbook) (Paperback)
This book is a must read for anyone who wants to draw closer to God. If you actually DO the work as instructed and not just read the book, your relationship with God will be forever transformed. You cannot possibly walk away from doing the steps in this workbook and have the same relationship with our LORD as you began.

It really gets to the heart of the relationship that we are to have with GOD. If you really have a heart for God and seek after him, this book will bless you over and over again. By using examples from the Bible the authors show us how God wants to have a close personal relationship with ALL of his children. We see how God works with HIS children from the Old and the New Testament. God does not change, and this book shows that to us again and again. This book has changed my life and improved my marriage.

From a practical standpoint doing the "work" in this workbook is a challenge (as is our Christian walk). There is no magic formula and you get out of it exactly what you put into it, no more and no less. If you just read the book there really is little point in purchasing it, but if you DO the work, the blessings will flow like water. Mine do.

5.0 out of 5 stars To know Him!, January 2, 2000
This review is from: Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God (Workbook) (Paperback)
I started the study of "Experiencing God" for one reason and that was to know Him. I really can't put into words what this study has meant to me. The workbook was a help to me because I need "baby" steps. Some do not and the study goes at whatever pace you need. The small group study helped me see God working through others to teach me. You learn so much about His love. I recommend this workbook in a small group study for anyone. Whether you are spiritually mature or are just starting your journey as a follower of Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes my Hall of Fame for Christian Books, June 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God (Workbook) (Paperback)
I've participated in a small group study of Experiencing God once, and I taught it twice after that. I think this is one of those rare workbooks that in a simple way, captures the deeper truths of God and the Christian life. It is profoundly simple. I've read a lot of Christian books in my time, and there really isn't one like this. It's in a category of its own. You should definitely do it in the context of a small group. Beware though, it is demanding for the average reader. There are daily exercises that can take 20-30 minutes to do. These exercises are chalk full of great wisdom and insight, but for some it is a lot to do. I've read probably a hundred Christian books/workbooks, etc., and this one is definitely in my top 10, if not my top 5. I highly recommend it. If you're a teen, I'd use the teen version. It's great for everybody.
