I have never actually written an author before to thank him for his work, but I did email Calvin Miller when I finished Loving God Up Close to express my almost indescribable gratitude for this book. This has become a book I recommend to EVERYONE.

I have been walking with Jesus for about 20 years now and have known the Holy Spirit and didn't feel 'in the dark' about Him. When I picked up the book I was in a place where I just felt 'off' and disconnected in general. Dr/Mr? Miller really wrote an inspired work!

He makes the Holy Spirit knowable and not just that, as you discover more about Him and are reminded about who He really is you can't help but WANT to know Him more and more and more. You realize how beautiful and wonderful and deeply intimate the Holy Spirit is and how He is ALWAYS at work. All I can say is that this book added incredible depth and intimacy to my relationship with Him and even now just thinking about it I want to read it again. I feel that way every year. It deeply warms the soul and helps you walk with the power, purpose and confidence that really just radiates throughout yourself, and in extension, your life. I don't know that I can recommend this book highly enough.

Also, it is an easy read. Very understandable for anyone whether you are exploring God and the Holy Spirit, have known the Holy Spirit for a while, or you want to dig deeper. Excellent for any reader.

Calvin Miller's book "Loving God Up Close" is a beautifully-written meditation on the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. As Eugene Peterson describes it, "Miller invites us into a confident conversation on God's inimitable way of being with us." Miller shares some wonderful insights in this delightful volume.
