40 Ways to Get Closer to God
- Bethany House Publishers, September 2011
Sometimes faith demands action. This practical book gives Christians ideas for how to adjust their hearts to get closer to God. Each chapter contains a unique challenge and a brief explanation that puts the challenge in context. Exercises include acts of service to others, extended prayer, Scripture memory, fasting, a day of gratitude, media fasting (no TV or internet), evangelism, and much more. The challenges are broad in scope, allowing people with varying personality types and learning styles to benefit from them.
Cheryl's review:
It's a plan that anyone can do. It's not baby steps, but it is taking it one day or week at a time. It's not a grid; it's a journey and MacGregor motivates you to want to launch out. What a great book to do for advent or lent. Do it alone or gather a small group. It's not a book to read once, it's a book to go back to over and over again. Buy 10 and pass them out to those that mentor you and those you mentor. I'm so in!
