This review is from: A Heart That Dances: Satisfy Your Desire for Intimacy with God (Quiet Times for the Heart) (Paperback)

I did this book with a woman's bible study, and we all LOVED it. It is so applicable to wherever you are in life, that we each were changed becuase of it. It is great for personal bible study or as a group. Each week takes you through a different person (from the Bible) who had an intimate relationship with Christ. By taking careful note of their relationships, we can learn how to have our own intimacy with Him. This is a perfect book if want to desire God more, and learn how to make Him a part of all you do. There is a lot room to answer questions, as well as a journal and prayer log in the back. The daily study takes about an hour each day for 8 weeks, but it is also easy to break it up into smaller increments if you are concerned about finding the time. I found I often wanted to spend longer studying the Word, because this book really did help ignite my passion for knowing God. God is real, God is good, He loves us, and He wants to spend time with us!!

This review is from: A Heart That Dances: Satisfy Your Desire for Intimacy with God (Quiet Times for the Heart) (Paperback)

is a great book. Each week takes you deeper into the life of a character in the Bible, and helps you learn things about that character which are directly applicable to your own life. The book has also helped me deepen and regulate my quiet times, so that I spend meaningful time with the Lord each day. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a way to grow closer to God.

This book was recommended to me by Monvee, a computer Christian program that personalizes how you grow spiritually. It has been great for me. It has helped me to develop a more intimate relationship with God. It is just the tool I needed, along with God's word, to draw me closer to Him. Highly recommended!!
