"Experiencing God" by Henry & Richard Blackaby
Recommended by Ryan Davidson
Experiencing God was the first study I worked through after becoming a Christian. It set the course for my life that ultimately led me to YFC. Without it and the guidance of my mentor John Yoder, I have no idea where I would be. Working through this book while simultaneously reading the Bible changed me dramatically.
The book works through 7 principles:
God is always at work.
God pursues a relationship with you.
God invites you to join Him.
God speaks.
God's invitation leads you to a crisis of belief.
Major adjustments are required.
Through Obedience we experience.
The authors pull the principles straight from the pages of the Bible while using stories (some personal and some not) to exhibit how this works in our everyday life.
The truths spoken brought me to an understanding of how the Holy Spirit moves and how God speaks. In a world of uncertainty I can’t imagine a life without God’s reassurance and guidance - “Experiencing God” showcases this repeatedly while demonstrating how we align ourselves with our Heavenly Father and His activity.
