I was gifted this book when I became a Christian but for some reason never got around to reading it until about a month ago. I was a couple of chapters into it when the virtual book club was announced in church. I am enjoying that the author speaks simply in a way that is easy to understand yet challenges me to think deeply. I keep coming back to the meditating on the truth section. “It is that we turn each truth that we learn about God into matter for meditation before God, leading to prayer and praise to God.” He talks about what that looks like through meditation (in a biblical way) and applying it to our lives. I was struck with how I focus a lot on prayer and spending time with God in His word but not nearly enough time meditating on it and on who God is and His character. I love lists and checking things off of them, and it has been a struggle in my Christian walk not to reduce my time with God to that. I look forward to seeing how God will use this book to challenge and change me.
