it was amazing
bookshelves: christian-non-fiction

Goodness, it's been nearly a year since I started reading this book. I loved almost every bit of it, and the one small thing that unsettled me (a bit about something or another throwing energy out somewhere) but I suspect that I misunderstood the point of that and heard it "wrong" so to speak. Nothing else sent off alarm bells, and that so flies in the face of other things Miller said that I really think I got it off.

The best thing I got from the book was the complete confidence that prayer is a conversation that keeps a relationship alive. We talk to friends and family. We write letters. We zip short notes or messages through the mail or online. We do this because relationship IS communication. So why wouldn't we keep in constant communication with the most important "person" in our lives???

But it's presented in a humble, encouraging way that makes you want to stop everything and just talk to the Lord. Ask Him for all the things, ignoring how greedy you feel, and then the moment arrives when you're just sharing your heart, your hopes, your fears--fears you didn't know you had!"
