Today I bought 2 books (one with a workbook) that look really exciting.
One is called "Grace Walk" by Steve McVey
The other is "Living before God" by Ben Campbell Johnson.
I am especially interested in the second one.
Listen to this:
"We have no choice about the fact of "being before God,"
only about how we posture ourselves
in God's presence. . . .
These postures range from wondering about the divine mystery to acknowledging the presence of God in me,
in my heart.
These various stances have enabled me
to become conscious of the divine presence
and to respond to it.
None of these can be called techniques
that guarantee the divine presence, so I have called them postures,
ways of being before God.
I have written this book for the seeking person
who desires to know God,
to live before God in a way that honours God's will."
I will share some of the things that impact me from these books as I go along.

Hi Allie,
I found your blog via a 'Google Alert' that I've set up for the phrase "Grace Walk." Grace Walk Ministries has been a real blessing to me over the past decade or so. Just wanted to say that I believe you've picked a great book to read. :) The other book you mentioned looks wonderful too! I love the quote you shared from the book.
