Review
You need this little book on your church library shelf; on your bedside table and on your gift list. It's so good! It's a gentle read with such a good message, one we have all heard but which we often ignore, thinking we can handle our problems, or life's little bumps, by ourselves. We can't! This book is a tool: To help give us personal insight; For group discussion; A way to reaffirm our faith in our Savior's greatness. (Barbara Rupach The Lamplighter )

From the Back Cover
“Do you ever feel that life is racing past while you’re just struggling to survive?”
Is that how you feel? As if life is racing past you and you’re barely able to catch up with it?
When was the last time you lay on your back and watched the sky, picking out shapes in the clouds? Or noticed a trail of ants at your feet? Children delight in these sorts of things, so why don’t adults? Running Barefoot on Holy Ground calls for a return to this kind of childlikeness before the Lord—to look at the relationship with your Heavenly Father through fresh eyes.
Beginning with a quote or poem, each chapter is filled with wisdom and scriptural insights and ends with suggested exercises that are designed to help bring you into that deep, unreserved relationship with God that you’ve always wanted.
“With personal examples, colorful metaphors, and biblical illustrations Jeanne Gowen Dennis encourages us to nurture a tender, intimate relationship with God as our ‘Abba, Daddy,’ by seeing Him through the eyes of a child.”
—Rebecca Barlow Jordan

This review is from: Running Barefoot on Holy Ground: Childlike Intimacy with God (Paperback)
From the first time I heard the title, I knew I wanted to read this book. I was not disappointed. With topics ranging from childlike faith to childlike worship, Dennis helps us see God through the eyes of a child and gives us a picture of the Father/daughter relationship He desires to have with each of us. Each chapter ends with "Child's Play"--specific steps we can take to peel away the layers of adulthood and love Him with childlike abandon. So grab the book, take off your shoes, and get ready to become a Daddy's girl!

This review is from: Running Barefoot on Holy Ground: Childlike Intimacy with God (Paperback)
Jeanne Gowen Dennis has reminded me that God delights in a childlike faith...trusting, secure, and dependent. Thank you, Jeanne, for this fresh perspective.

By T. Suzanne Eller, Author "Suzanne Eller, Author" (beautiful NE Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Running Barefoot on Holy Ground: Childlike Intimacy with God (Paperback)
I loved Dennis's first chapter on child-like wonder. In this busy world we need to stop and enjoy what is all around us, seeing the intricate, the beautiful, the simple joys as a child might.
