Why Not Waste Time with God?

"A French acrobat once climbed to the top of a skyscraper with his five-year-old son on his back. When they came down, someone asked the child, 'Were you scared up there?' Surprised by the question, the boy replied, 'No, I wasn't. My daddy was holding me.'" If you want to have this lovely story become your personal experience, read Mike Evans' powerful book on the irreplaceable importance of "holy loitering" with God.

With passion and precision, Mike addresses the great need of the believer to spend time with — no, "waste" time with God. He successfully engages the reader into the drama of the Father's pursuit of His children. I was especially moved by his insights on "our belovedness." I can't help but think that this revelation alone would draw multitudes into a place of deep intimacy with God. Caution: the fire of heaven is on this book!

I strongly recommend reading Mike Evans' new book. I, for one, found I needed to read it. He is very honest about his own life and failings, but yet offers a hopeful and practical solution to the problem so many of us have: spending too much time working for God and so little time just "wasted," listening in His presence. Mike writes movingly about how we can change our lives to grow in intimacy with our God.
