| Every year, thousands of new Christian books hit the market and very few of them will stand the test of time and become a classic. Author John White has sold over 1.5 million copies of his books, with Daring to Draw Near being one of his most popular and impacting books.
This book draws on ten prayers in scripture that teach us about the character of God and our relationship to a very personal God. Personally, I have been in a season in the past half-a-year learning about personal prayer (both petitionary and intercessory). And currently, I have invited John White to serve as a literary mentor to me through his other classic, The Fight. By the way, I recommend that we all adopt mentors through books, who can walk with us in our journey of faith and guide us to God. Eugene Peterson, Dallas Willard, and Henry Nouwen have been a blessing in my journey. |
Some may argue that White’s books are for new Christians, and that maturing Christians should look for resources elsewhere. And they are. They are fantastic resources for new believers who are on a steep learning curve to know what it means to know God, be known by God, and follow him in obedience. For me, his book during my Sabbaths has served as a refresher course, to reconnect with the essence of knowing God.
I will mail out this book (includes free shipping) to the first person who comments on this post or on his or her blog regarding this question: In what ways are you growing in your prayer life? (Make sure you link back to this post to notify me of your answer)
