Book Description

Publication Date: December 2002

TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES, YOU ARE ON HOLY GROUND!

When Moses approached the burning bush, in Exodus 3, the Lord spoke to him and said, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground" (v. 5). Moses found himself in the powerful, purposeful presence of God. On that day he began to walk barefoot.

Walking Barefoot is about learning to recognize and respond to God's presence in our lives. Like Moses, we must realize that God's presence is holy ~ He'll not have us separated from Him by any of our human contrivances. Its about an ongoing relationship, learning to love God deeply, trusting Him more and more, partnering with Him in the world, flowing in His power to fulfill His purposes.

These writings are about faith, the things that activate it and the things that hinder it. They are about praying according to the will of God and expecting to see results. They are about speaking in agreement with the Word of God in ways that are life-changing and world-changing. They are about God's desire to bless, heal and prosper His people. They are about receiving the wonderful inheritance we have in God, and passing it on to our children. They are about healing, for the inner and outer man. They are about giving and forgiving ~ and thanksgiving. They are about growing strong in faith and joyfully enduring in difficult situations. They are about moving mountains.

MORE ABOUT JEFF

ABOUT fifteen years ago I asked the Lord to teach me about faith. Now, don't get me wrong. I grew up in a Christian home, received the Lord Jesus Christ at a very early age, and even went to Bible college, where I studied all the major doctrines of "the faith" (along with many minor ones). Even learned about apologetics and how to "defend the faith."

But something was missing. I would see people who had nowhere near the Christian background or Biblical training that I had, but they knew how to grab hold of faith, step out on faith and accomplish great things with their faith. I envied them. Though I knew Jesus, and I understood and appreciated faith as a doctrinal matter, I did not know how to use my faith in the very practical way these folks did.

That's when I asked the Lord, and He began to take me through the "School of Practical Faith." He introduced me to what faith actually is, where it comes from, how it grows and develops and gets strong, and how it operates. He revealed the power of words -- His words -- in my mouth. He showed me that faith requires love and love requires faith. He also taught me how faith partners with patience and develops expectation. He instructed me in the absolute necessity of forgiving others and how that sets my faith free. In short, He taught me the dynamics of faith.

That's what my books and blogs are about. As God has been teaching me, I have been taking notes and sharing with others what I have learned. It is a work in progress, one that will take me the rest of my life, because, now that I've learned how to use my faith in practical ways, the Bible has become even more vibrant and exciting. I'm trading my thoughts for God's, believing His Word for all its worth (and rejoicing at its infinite value). And I'm discovering a host of life-changing, world-changing truths -- things I had never noticed before I learned how to apply my faith.

This review is from: Walking Barefoot: Living in Prayer, Faith and the Power of God (Paperback)

Walking Barefoot: Living in Prayer, Faith and the Power of God is full of insight and wisdom. This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in learning more about their Christian Faith and Beliefs. It is a perfect companion for those of us who are striving to learn all we can while we are on our journey to a closer relationship with our Lord and Savior. Doles has a way of explaining and 'boiling down' his subject matter that makes it understandable for everyone, no matter where on their path they might be. This book was very helpful and inspiring for me, it taught and explained things that I wouldn't have "gotten" on my own.
