Be Still, My Soul: A Practical Guide to a Deeper Relationship with God

Great book. It brings you back to the basics of your relationship with God

Ignore the nonsense bias negative comments. I am not part of ICOC. I go to a baptist church. My friends including some of them in the leadership(baptist not ICOC) have read it and think that it is a wonderful book. Sam Laing made his points so clear and easy to understand. This book is very practical for all christians to maintain a good relationship with God. It is another great book from DPI.

Sam Laing writes with passion for disciples to pursue the face of God with all their heart, minds, soul, and strength (Mark 12:29-31). He urges disciples to take time out of our busyness to get alone with our Father (Matthew 6:5-9). The book is written in easy to read chapters that can easily be read in about 5 minutes. The application, however, is powerful. Laing encourages disciples to go deeper than merely knowing God by name but begin to know God face to face, as a friend. If your prayer life, devotional life, evangelism, worship, etc. have been lacking, get alone with God and read Laing's book with your Bible open. I promise you that you will leave this book with a deeper desire to pray and read the Word of God than ever before.

I really loved this book. It took me back to the days when my relationship with God was brand new. After 25 years, walking with God can become routine. This book inspired me to deeper prayer and bible study, and a greater appreciation of who God is and how special it can be to walk closely with Him. We get so busy, and often let our time with God become flat. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be more like Jesus, especially those who are new Christians, seekers, or "old fogeys" like me who need to be re-energized. It was both inspiring and practical.

This is small book and an easy read. However, do not be misled by the size--it is packed full of practical information that can lead you closer to God. If you find yourself at a loss on how to connect with your Creator, this book will set you in the right direction. Basic outlining of how to fast, how to study God's Word, and how to pray, how to worship God are the subjects covered. Each is covered thoroughly in concise and understandable language.
