Wonderful reminder for an old Christian and perfect for a babe in Christ. If you’re new it will head you in the right direction for your prayer life.

Nicole Murray’s book is approachable, insightful, and thorough. I had to purchase a copy for my mother as well!

After reading it, I asked God for a distinct encounter with the Holy Spirit. It happened immediately. Shortly after falling asleep, the evening of my request, I was awakened by my dog barking. I thought he must have heard a noise outside or the neighbors coming home. When I got up from the bed to see what was going on, I felt a shaking in my room. Within the 10 or so minutes that I had fallen asleep, a mighty gusting wind was in our backyard. It was so fierce I was certain the chairs on the deck would end up in someone else’s yard. There was lightening with this wind and suddenly it became clear to me that the wind was the Holy Spirit. Nowhere on my weather app was there an indication that the wind gusts were present. It was a suddenly encounter and my prayer request had been immediately answered.

In the morning, I was certain I’d find the deck furniture strewn about and my tiny plastic lanterns either broken or in another location because of the force of the wind. But everything was in place, not a thing had been moved! Powerful!!! Nicole Murray’s book will you open you up to a new level of communication with God.

This is the book to read to break through a spiritual lockdown. It has all the power and rigor of a post graduate course, but reads as easily as scooping ice cream. Nicole Murray’s voice is clear and sound. A new believer can rely on it, and a mature believer whose faith life may have been on auto pilot will feel like a new believer by the time they turn the last page. Every athlete can hit a wall they can’t seem to break through, and a Christian running their race to the end is no exception. It is all too easy to go stale, or by rote, be sidelined by moments of true spiritual dryness, or crushed by the dark night of the soul. God can become an abstraction. Nothing seems farther away or more silent than His voice. This book is a love story that unfolds a simple narrative of a deepening relationship and hourly conversation that is always on offer: “God is always speaking, but it may take awhile for you to recognize how He is speaking to you.” This is how the author describes what is waiting for everyone. Murray provides a progression of practices that help to begin, leads straight to the commitment in her convicting chapter on Stewardship, and points beyond to new directions in the closing chapter, “At the End of the Day.” There are helpful prayers, exercises and personal reflections in each chapter, and many scriptural readings with deft commentary and applications. At the end of the day in my home, this book goes back on the night stand for the beginning of the day!

This book made me want to sit down and open my Bible more. It addressed some questions I’ve had about how the lord talks to us individually.

This book really blessed me. I read it all in 2 days. If you want to deepen your relationship with Christ, Nicole gives practical steps. I was in tears for part of her story…..it was the from seeing beauty. You will hunger to know God more after reading this. Her ministry has truly blessed me and I have found a treasure in her words that can only be from God. Both in this book and on her MOP website, I see the Glory of God and the sweetness of His presence.
