Close Enough to Hear God Breathe

I just finished reading “Close Enough to Hear God Breathe”, a new book by author Greg Paul and the first book I’ve read by him.

The book is quite well written, as he recounts and retells stories throughout, Bible stories as well as his own personal life stories and from his family. I felt the age old Bible stories I know by heart and am familiar with were not only brought to life, but I felt I was able to see and apply them in new and different ways than I have before. Through the stories, Bible verses and accounts, one of the main messages Greg Paul is bringing out is the great love God has for each of us personally and individually and how He longs for that close communion with us, for us to be close enough to hear His whispers. I deeply appreciate this in this day and age when there is so much going on around us and it can be easy for me to “forget” and to get caught up in the day to day.

I have enjoyed this book as an addition to my times of daily devotional and have been strengthen and encouraged by it.

Disclosure: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
