Book Description:
This book challenges Christians to experience the fullness of a life lived in fellowship with a loving, personal God. Large print edition.
Amazon.com:
Knowing God does not come through a program, a study, or a method. Knowing God comes through a relationship with a Person. This is an intimate love relationship with God. Through this relationship, God reveals Himself, His purposes, and His ways; and He invites you to join Him where He is already at work.
This is the central thesis of Experiencing God by Henry T. Blackaby and Claude V. King. The authors' emphasis on revelation through personal relationship makes faith sound like a true adventure--leading believers to engage with people and circumstances they might otherwise have avoided. The organization of Experiencing God adds to this effect, proceeding step by step through the various ways a believer's relationship with God is deepened (via the Bible, prayer, and the Church, among others). Although there's strong tension between the self-help tone of this book and its hard-line argument that faith is purely a response to God's initiative, many readers will nevertheless find great encouragement in hearing a still, small voice among a vast number of everyday experiences.

Rating:  - A MUST READ FOR CHRISTIANS
Conservative evangels have misdirected the development of Christian Faith by gimmicks, acronyms, and rigid doctrine. Henry directs us back to the basics of developing our own faith and nurturing others through experience. IT IS A MUST READ !
Rating: - An Excellent Bible Study
I've completed Experiencing God twice in ten years. I find it very revealing about where I am in my spiritual development and it causes me to dig deeper, and seek God with renewed passion. I highly recommend this study. It's simple to follow, well presented and promises growth to the one who truly desires to be a man or woman of God.
Rating: - Not a workbook
I ordered 7 copies of this book for my small group thinking this was the Experiencing God workbook. I wanted to make sure everyone knows this is not the workbook. The original book done a decade ago was redone and they added little questions through out the book. That is what this book is. If you are looking for the adult workbook it has a partially red cover. I can say that I love this book and I have done the youth edition of the workbook and loved that as well.
Rating: - a must read
This book is the best I have read yet. It clears up the relational gap between a born again child of God and to God himself. It really made me think about the circumstances already in my life and how God is already a part of that. All I have to do is be odedient and have a love relationship with a holy, just God. The book says in a nutshell that God is already at work in my life and He invites me to come join Him daily. The book explains how. AWESOME!
Rating:  - Experiencing God
This book is a MUST read. It helps the "lay" person understand WHY God put you on this earth. God is interested in YOU alone and wants a personal realtionship with YOU.
