Wasted on Jesus : Reaching for the Lover of Your Soul [Paperback]

Jim Goll (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 2001

Wasted on Jesus defines a new generation of passionate lovers of the Lord Jesus. Within the pages of this book you will be introduced to the hunger and passion of these "wasted ones." You will experience the collision of religion with reality, theology with thirst, and legalism with extravagant love.

These desperate souls cry out for spiritual mentors, someone to guide them toward the secret places where God dwells. This book is destined to become a guide for all those spiritual discontents who long for the courts of the Lord.

This is not as crash course in spiritual disciplines. It is a love book where you will learn the language and feel the throbbing of the Divine heartbeat.

Prepare to take your first steps into His dwelling place.

This review is from: Wasted on Jesus : Reaching for the Lover of Your Soul (Paperback)

This book gave me a whole new desire and passion for meditating on God or His Word. The author pulls in a lot of quotes from different monks and nuns who were consistent in this necessary way of beginning to know God.

It is deep reading, but very good. I definitely suggest it!

This review is from: Wasted on Jesus : Reaching for the Lover of Your Soul (Paperback)

This is a book for the hungry. This is for those who are deeply longing to experience more of Jesus & to delve into His heart which is passionately in love with His bride. This is a book about extravagant, "wasteful", lavish worship - & boy, is it good. I love it when I find a book that as I read it, I keep saying, "Oh, yes, that is exactly what I'm longing for", "yes, that is exactly what I want." But not only does "Wasted on Jesus" put words to desire, it also awakens even more deep longing - I dare you to read this book & not fall more deeply in love with Jesus.
