A Place of Quiet Rest by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth Book Review

About the Book:

The God of the universe created us for a loving relationship with Him. We long for that sweet intimacy with God, but it often seems so out of reach. Yet even in the busyness of daily life, we hear those whispers calling us, drawing us to the feet of Jesus.

Best-selling author Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth demystifies the process of coming to know God intimately. For over 20 years A Place of Quiet Rest has spoken to readers, helping them to a deeper relationship with Christ. In A Place of Quiet Rest Nancy shares from her heart and life how a daily devotional time can forever change your life.

This Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth classic will encourage generations to come to find that place of quiet rest.

My Review:

Some books still have the same great impact 25 years later as the day they were released. Wolgemuth's book is one. She helps readers understand the essential nature of a quiet time with God, how to do it by developing the habit, and the fruitful results.

I am impressed that this is not a checklist kind of book or a book offering a five point outline for creating the quiet time, Rather, Wolgemuth emphasizes actually drawing close to God, really communicating and sharing, developing a relationship. I am glad she reminds us the practice is not an obligation but an opportunity. She does offer some principles for maintaining a devotional life but the context is relationship, not check list. And the result is true communion with God.

I highly recommend this book to a new generation of Christians. Each one will benefit from the wisdom in this book.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
