Waiting on the Lord - Part 1 - By Eli Miller

• October 22nd, 2006

Between James W. Goll’s book, “The Last Art of Practicing His Presence,” and some of the teachings of the presence of God, this article has it’s place right amonst them.  There was something about this article, the clarity, the purpose that is very distinct.  Take the time to meditate over this one!

The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence - James W. Goll

• October 22nd, 2006

What does it mean to “be still and know that I am God,” what did Jesus and the disciples mean when they talked about being “united with Christ.” Questions, we sort of knew the answer to, occasionaly experienced, but never practiced, how do you “practice” the presence of God. James W. Goll spent time researching some of the not-so-well-known heroes in the faith, St Theresa being one of them, he includes some of the key pieces of her writings and others describing the phases of the Christian walk, and the presence of God. This book stirred up my hunger for practicing His presence daily. This book is excellent, anointed and stirring. I will say this though, I found it lead me almost all the way there, but left something missing. Perhaps this was intentional, to build the yearning… If you feel God calling you deeper, to a place you haven’t been before. You will love this book! You can purchase this book on Morningstar’s website. This book also includes all the letters of Brother Lawrence, that were previously compiled in a book, “Practicing the Presence of God,” which you will find incredibly inspiring and challenging as Brother Lawrence with almost reckless abandon pursues the manifest presence of God…
