Book: Practicing the Presence of Jesus

About Practicing the Presence of Jesus:


Experience the Gift of His Friendship

Do you want to experience Jesus as real? When we look at Jesus' life on earth, we see Him calling people to simply know Him. He made no demand on them to believe theological propositions. "Follow me" was the invitation which they accepted. They got to know and communicate with the real person. There is a big difference between believing something is true and experiencing it as real. This is the story of how Wally Armstrong learned to communicate with the real person of Jesus in his everyday life. Armstrong experiences Jesus up close and personal and introduces readers to the same experience. In a conversational manner, he explores what it is like to have a relationship with Jesus as if He is sitting right there next to us. He keeps an empty chair ready and imagines Jesus sitting beside him as they talk.

My Review:

This book was an easy read. It was very interesting to me how Wally experienced his time with God and Jesus. I really enjoyed reading how he really visualized Jesus sitting with him having a normal conversation like he would with anyone else. I think we do lack a certain intimacy because it is sometimes hard to really feel the presence of Jesus or God. Wally's book can really help you to see the value in that and can maybe help you learn to practice that presence with Jesus. This book is also a great read for golf fans, as Wally refers back very often to his time on the course and in his general life. 


I did receive this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
