Book Review of Close Enough To Hear God Breathe by Greg Paul

I recently had the opportunity to review the book "Close Enough To Hear God Breathe."  What an awesome title for a book!  I was looking forward to learning how to be closer to God and hear his voice. I often have a hard time even hearing my own thoughts with 3 kids 5 and under around. First off, my overall impression of the book was that I thought it was a good,  smooth, easy read and that it provided me with some great analogies to help me better understand how God views his children.  This book did deliver what I was hoping for.  I like to read for a little while just before I go to bed and I like to read books that help draw me closer to God. Among other things this book reminded me that it is often easier to hear God's voice when it is still and quiet.  For me that comes when I am walking or just having some alone time.  I like this book enough to take it in one more time and give it another read.  One of my favorite parts came early in the book when the author says, "...now, in these recent days, he speaks to me "in Son."  Whispering through every Scripture, and into the intimate details of my own daily experience-- for it is his life he is abreathing into me, and my life he wants to redeem."
