Knowing God Intimately

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: Burke writes "the deeper you know God, the stronger your faith." With that in mind, this book shows readers how to cultivate a closer intimacy with God. He describes the fact that time spent with God will develop into a saturation of His influence. In seeking God's ways, Burke notes there are two kinds of Christians: ones of the fallow-life and those of the plowed life. The former has lost the spirit of adventure, while the latter experience the miracle of growth that is only found in cultivated soil. He extends the analogy of growth by pointing out that fruitfulness comes only from cultivated ground. Since God is working within an individual, one's thoughts and inner life represent the soil to be cultivated. Burke builds upon this theme of the adventurous pioneering spirit, noting that such people are not satisfied with life as it is, but press on to deeper spiritual achievement. He notes the sheep that follow the Sheperd most closely are the ones who experience the best results.

Summary: Now I know more!
Review: I have recently read thi book, Knowing God Intimately. It is a wonderfully anointed book. Thank you so much to the authors for being obedient and writing it. Its a book everyone needs to have and read and meditate on. The copy I read wasn't mine, and I found that as I went back through to take notes I wanted to copy the whole thing!! So I had to buy one of my own, and more of them to hand out at a meditation group my sister has!
