Product Description
Walking with God moves through a year in the life of John Eldredge showing and teaching what an intimate relationship with God looks like day to day. 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.

 A Daily Devotional July 22, 2008
It's hard not to enjoy the works of John Eldridge. He has his finger on the spiritual pulse of what it means to strive to be a godly man. Treat this book as a daily devotional because there are truly heartfelt and personal thoughts that John has depicted as a daily personal journal. He has also created a unique format that includes a live video of select entries from John's teaching on this personal journal. Oswald Chambers gave us an daily look at scripture and its application that became a classic devotional component to the Bible. Walking with God has that similar appeal presented in a more contemporary framework that allows us peer into his heart to see what it means to actually walk with the Master.
Highly recommended to long-time fans of John Eldredge and anyone wondering how to hear God's voice July 14, 2008
What is it like to hear from God? What does His voice sound like? What does conversational intimacy with the divine look like? John Eldredge, author of the bestselling WILD AT HEART and EPIC, answers these and other questions in his latest book, WALKING WITH GOD.
Instead of chapters, Eldredge cleverly divides the book into four seasons representing a year of simply living as a follower of God. Within each season he explores different moments with life and faith intersecting and how God reveals himself at such times. Eldredge writes:
"It is our deepest need, as human beings, to learn to live intimately with God. It is what we were made for. Back in the beginning of our story, before the fall of man, before we sent the world off its axis, there was a paradise called Eden...And what they enjoyed above all the other delights of that place was this --- they walked with God. They talked with him, and he with them."
From this foundation, Eldredge goes into extremely specific moments when he cries out to God and shares the replies, if any, that are given. Along the way he provides scripture references as a backdrop for his interactions with God. He notes that it's important to slow down to listen to God. With the speed and noise of our modern world, many voices are trying to get our attention. In order to hear God's voice, we have to be intentional and still. Eldredge describes sitting quietly and asking God how he should spend the weekend --- at his ranch or at home. Then he describes placing the question before God, searching his own heart, and bringing his soul to a "posture of quiet surrender." In the end, he hears God say, "Yes --- go. It will be good."
When he gets to the ranch, Eldredge is disappointed that it's raining. The weather further forces him to slow down, reflecting on the busyness of his life and drivenness of his own soul. Ultimately, he ends up discovering more about himself and God in the process. Such descriptions are intensely personal, and Eldredge goes out of his way to make sure readers don't try to create formulas out of his experiences. Rather, he encourages them to go and develop their own relationship with God one on one.
Eldredge's background in counseling is readily apparent as the book progresses. In the section "Fall," he examines some of the deeper heart issues, including the agreements people make with things that simply aren't true. He goes on in "Winter" to describe the devil as an "opportunist" and explores the snare of "speculation." Charismatic readers will resonate with many of his teachings in these areas, but mainstream ones will enjoy Eldredge's down-to-earth style and desire for God.
WALKING WITH GOD raises a lot of theological questions without providing tons of answers, and maybe that's okay. It is not designed to be a treatise, but rather one candid look into a year in the life of a man sincerely seeking God. Not everything is relatable or attainable. But most will have their spiritual lives challenged and encouraged by reading this book. Highly recommended to long-time fans of John Eldredge and anyone wondering how to hear God's voice.

 Walking with God July 13, 2008
The author, John Eldredge is easy to read and for those dear souls in search for community with Christ, the son of the Christian God; they will be aroused to seek Christ more intimately. A good beginning in the spiritual quest for ever more intamacy. John's other books will necessarily follow in your continued reading on this subject and you will be enlightened by his prophetic intuition.
Thought provoking and well worth reading July 12, 2008
Not many books have serious, realistic discussion about a person's relationship with God. This book does. It describes ways to pray, listen, and hear the reply. This doesn't promise unrealistic results and this isn't the usual "you should pray this" kind of book. It's the author's actual communication, his questions and answers, and how he learned to ask questions of God and hear the reply.
All that doesn't do justice to the book. Put simply, if you wish to examine ways to improve your relationship with God through prayer, read this. After picking this up at the library, I'm buying my own copy.
Takes it all deeper July 11, 2008
Since starting with Wild at Heart, I have read all of John Eldredge's books and found them all to be a challenge to my previous beliefs. They took me away from traditional theology and on the path to understanding myself and my relationship with God.
Walking with God is a marvelous book with many great stories within it. I still have trouble with getting God's voice on the mundane decisions in life, but without question it is the way to hear the important answers to your most intimate questions.
I have read the book once and suspect that with all of his other books it needs to be read 2 or 3 times to get the full impact.
