Close Enough to Hear God Breathe: The Great Story of Divine Intimacy by Greg Paul
I wanted to like this book, I really did. I loved the title. I loved the idea, of getting close enough to God to hear Him breathe. But I didn’t like the book at all.
I found the text to be too filled with personal examples that, while enjoyable to read, illustrated the topic only peripherally if at all. I thought his introductory passage detailing Jesus’ baptism by John to be too imaginative for my tastes, and somewhat crude.
I wanted meat and instead found fluff. I wanted to be convicted and was instead annoyed. I wanted insight and instead found repetitive banality.
The book promised an intimate journey with God, but completely failed to deliver on that promise.
