This review is from: I Will Follow You, O God: Embracing Him As Lord in Your Private Worship (Hardcover)

This book was one of the most challenging devotions I have read to date. Bridges confronts the personal aspect of the Christian walk by encouraging private devotion with Jesus in Word and deed. He gives practical principles to effectively help any believer in his or her sanctification. I recommend this book highly.

This review is from: I Will Follow You, O God: Embracing Him as Lord in Your Private Worship (Kindle Edition)

This book is perfect for meditating on God's Word. It should bring you closer and deeper to Him. Then, right thinking leads to right behavior. How sacred is the feeling that you get from this book. It should be a slow read and do not go forward until you "get it".
