Authors Mimi Wilson (also of Once-a-Month-Cooking) and Shelly Cook Volkhardt, teamed together to write a book on intentional living.
"Our part is to make it a habit to know Him. His part is to make us holy." I have been guilty of thinking that I would become holy if I just read my Bible daily - mindlessly.
"Holy Habit: Look for the fingerprint of God in the world and tell others what you see." God's fingerprint is in everything - from nature to circumstances to the people around us. We must learn to see these things as God's fingerprint - His own silent movement in our lives. Thank Him for it! Praise Him for it! Obey His guidance.
"[God] is always the same. There is a freshness with Him continually." How true! The great I AM never changes and yet He is always fresh. He never gets old.
This book had me in tears multiple times as the authors shared experiences of God working in their lives and answering prayers. Each time I was reminded of what God was doing in my life or had done. I was encouraged to say, "That's my God!" A few times they talked about answered prayer that was something that I might have been praying for. God answers prayer. He hasn't forgotten me. He will answer my prayers in His time. I am thankful for the things He has done and the things that He will do. My God is an awesome God!
Great book. Perfect for the person just starting out on their journey to drawing closer to God. Perfect for the person who has sought to know Him personally for years. no matter where you are in spiritual life, this boo will be a blessing.
