Enjoying God: Experiencing Intimacy with the Heavenly Father

By: S.J. Hill with Margaret Feinberg

personal copy paperback 147 pages

Published: 2008

Genre: non-fiction, Christian faith


I've been reading this as a sort of daily devotional. I have really enjoyed it and have underlined lots and lots of parts! I'm going to write a note in the cover and give it to someone else to read. (Whoever had it before me - Mark Lewis? - did a lot of their own underlining.)


I did make note of two other titles the author mentioned. Born After Midnight by A.W. Tozer and Personal Revival by Hill are books that I may want to get and read. But right now, I'm trying to get through some of what I already have on hand!


The other thing I wanted to blog about happened last week. I substitute taught T-F for my friend who has first hour prep. The office didn't need me to fill in another classroom, so I was craving that quiet morning time after homeroom to do my devotions and journal. A student wanted to visit with me and I basically brushed her off and sent her back to her Special Ed room. . . Then I read this sentence:


Sometimes all people need is a listening ear and a compassionate response.


Oh my. After I wrapped up my "morning time," I went and got the student to work on a project with her. God has a way of getting my attention and I definitely want to listen and obey!

 

I grabbed a different book off my shelf to start this morning and it just didn't grab me. So now I have a Ravi Zacharias book to use as a morning reading.

Time Out

by David Hill
PRMS hardcover 117 pages
genre: YA mystery

Liked it, but didn't love it. Kit has troubled home life (dad is gone, mom drinks, they fight when they communicate) and runs to escape it. Mark is the "star" on the track team, but Kit can outrun him. One day when Kit is running, a truck gets too close and . . . alternate reality, black holes, teen attraction, etc. It was a nice light read, but not compelling enough to keep. It was on my weed pile, but is in beautiful condition. It will go.
