About this book

Book Summary

God longs to speak. And it is our right and privilege to hear His voice. Our deepest longings could all find sufficient fulfillment in God's company. Yet, somehow, the looming discontent of most Christians is a lack of intimacy with God. Walking with God is unlike any book John has written. It moves through a year in his life showing and teaching what conversational intimacy with God can be like. It teaches readers how to make decisions aligning with God's will, understand barriers and "agreements" keeping them from the life God intends, fight spiritual battles for their own heart and for others, and much more. Ultimately, Walking with God shows readers that walking intimately with Him can be a normal part of the Christian life.

Media Reviews

"Eldredge's story (as opposed to chapter) format is supposed to better help readers "to pause along the way at those points where God is speaking to you," but it results in a lack of real organization and may make it difficult for readers to uncover an overarching theme in the course of a section." - Publishers Weekly.
