Practicing the Presence of Jesus
Whether you’re a fan of golf or not, you’ll find Wally Armstrong’s testimony of His relationship with Jesus interesting. While I don’t see Jesus outfitted in golfing attire, I appreciate the way the author encourages us to picture Jesus in the here and now with us.
While the author tells us to use our imagination, I see it more as realizing Jesus is real and in our every day lives. We just forget about Him because he isn’t visible. The only way to grow that friendship with Jesus is to get to now Him, as the author encourages us to do by getting into God’s Word.
The book consists of a mere 112 pages, but his testimony will have you changing your relationship with Jesus Christ into what it should be.
I received a copy of the book from Litfuse Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
About the Book
Do you want to experience Jesus as real? When we look at Jesus’ life on earth, we see Him calling people to simply know Him. He made no demand on them to believe theological propositions. “Follow me” was the invitation which they accepted. They got to know and communicate with the real person. There is a big difference between believing something is true and experiencing it as real. This is the story of how Wally Armstrong learned to communicate with the real person of Jesus in his everyday life. Armstrong experiences Jesus up close and personal and introduces readers to the same experience. In a conversational manner, he explores what it is like to have a relationship with Jesus as if He is sitting right there next to us. He keeps an empty chair ready and imagines Jesus sitting beside him as they talk.
