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.
