The key sentence in the book is "meditation is the closest we can come today to a face to face encounter with the risen Lord Jesus". If you desire this type of a relationship then this book is for you!

This book is one of those rare books which deals with meditation on God's Word in a Biblical mannner. In this age of self promoters, many pseudo-Christian teachers use human reason, pump-ups, charisma and empty words to promote themselves. The author instead focuses on the teaching of God's Word about this critical topic--meditation on the living Word in a thorough, fair manner. This is a true gem--a classic. Buy it now! I guarantee it will change your life.

The book essentially covers a technique for truly understanding God and the Bible. This is NOT New Age Yoga!. Dr. McIntosh explains the Biblical principles of meditation -- and its importance for those who wish to read the Bible, study the Bible, and then really, really go deep into the Word of God. Dr. McIntosh's perspective is that of a conservative, evangelical Christian teacher. The book is organized into a series of lessons and applications.

Doug McIntosh has written a book that every Christian, who wants to grow closer to the God he serves, should read. Biblical meditation is the subject, and Doug's practical advice on how to focus in on God's revelation through the Holy Scriptures is deep, but extremely easy to read.

The secret to a successful Christian life is spelled out very clearly and practically in this book. A life of meditation on God's word and obedience to the revealed message, gives us God's guarantee of success. I enjoyed the book tremendously. I am looking for more copies to pass around to all the people in my life that I would like to see living successfully for Christ.
