 A year of one's life does not equal a deeper walk with God Oct 13, 2009
What struck me most in Eldredge's book is that while married there was not a single event in the year he chronicles that involves his wife. Perhaps the reason for this is all to telling in his relating his love for older cars. After all he says they don't have computers or navigation systems "the last thing I need is for a woman's voice telling me where to turn..."(pg 60) I found his incessant focus on what pleased him to be troubling. He lays out the "wrong" way to go about a relationship with God; A+B=C; (A) believe in God (B) be a good person (C) He will deliver the rest (pg 8)and then proceeds to illustrate with each story how if he wasn't blessed he obviously did not hear from God. It essentially appears that John lives his life and the circumstances that happen are only God's doing if John gets the message. If John doesn't get the message then what happens is demonic. Talk about trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Does God use the circumstances of our lives to reveal Himself; absolutely! However, over half the population on this planet has never owned a ranch in Montana, gone to the Moab desert, or known what it is like to not worry about their next meal. How about a reality check, John that does not make the circumstances of your life all about you and how God wants to bless you. The story of the diesel pick-up really takes the cake (pg 160). It is entirely possible to understand that his parents were disciplining as good parents ought to. He and his friends broke the law with his parent's car. He was fifteen; they stole the vehicle and could have caused a tragic accident. He was emasculated by their discipline, pleeeeease. But what reveals his skewed perception of gender is his notion that his diesel truck and especially wowing his young female employee restored his manhood. John needs to ask God how He might show him His transformation beyond arrested adolescence.

 Good Book On A Personal Relationship With God Sep 22, 2009
"Walking With God" by John Eldredge chronicles his thoughts about his relationship with God over the course of one year. Some of the points Eldredge brings up include:
1. Trying to figure out life on our own is utterly godless.
2. God created us for intimate fellowship with Him.
3. To hear God's voice, we must be in a position of quiet surrender.
4. Jesus wants us to have complete joy in our lives.
5. God doesn't always give us explanations but He does give us Himself.
6. Hearing God requires total surrender and yielding (not eliminating) our desires to Him.
7. We can sabotage a lot of God's intended joy for us by the way we approach life.
8. Quite often, God's desire for us runs counter to the hectic pace of everyday life.
A good read and highly recommended!
Enjoy.
 Practical help for hearing God's voice Aug 13, 2009
I wanted to get better at hearing God. I know He speaks most often and most certainly through His written Word, but in recent years I've begun to realize that He also speaks directly to me. Though I've been a Christian for many years, I feel like a beginner at hearing God's voice. Wishing for some instruction, I went looking for books on the subject. Eldredge's subtitle led me to think this book might meet my need; and since his "Wild At Heart" was already on my list of "The 10 Books That Have Most Shaped My Life", I decided to read "Walking With God". The book is just what I needed!
Eldredge's approach in this book is rather like a spiritual diary chronicling a year in his life--that is, the inner life of his conversation with God--and recording both the spiritual miscues and breakthroughs along the way. He peppers the diary with practical, "here's how you do it" teaching on learning to hear God. In this book, as in his other writings, he uses an engaging, conversational style that is a pleasure to read.

Perspective of a Christian Therapist Aug 09, 2009
As a Christian Marriage Family Therapist, I read the current reviews with interest. The negative reviews center on a concern that following John Elderege's advice could be dangerous. I find that John Elderedge's Walking With God hits the needs of broken Christians (and we are broken)spot on.
I agree that not every voice in our head is God, but the Voice of Truth, is in there and John Elderege encourages us to find it and listen. My experience has been a reawakening of a close and personal relationship with the Lord God through His Son Jesus.

Wonderful book! Jul 27, 2009
I have really enjoyed reading this book. I actually am looking forward to reading it again! It seemed that every time I would open it again to read, God really used it! I appreciate that it is in a journal style, because it is real! John Eldredge talks about his ups and downs, even his doubts at time! I liked it b/c it wasn't a do this then that and you can reach this point. I just really liked reading his walk with the Lord, it made it very encouraging to me!
