Book Reviews

From a pastoral perspective, Chris has done a fine job inviting us to a daily walk with God, so that we can reclaim our true identity in Christ, whose light shines, as he says, “through the cracks of our clay.” I was pleasantly surprised by Chris’s openness and realistic assessment of the human self in need of a Savior, who offers to be our companion through pain, grief, sufferings, transitions, addictions, or in all of life. His view of God is refreshing and uplifting.

I like how Chris guides us through the practices of the disciplines of Presence, covenant, love, Lectio Divina, kindness, sleep, Sabbath, discernment, and so many others.  He is aiming at being “seasoned with the salt of Christ” no matter what.  Overall, I see A Daily Walk With God as a formative tool that will warm the hearts of readers.

Christopher Hensley’s A Daily Walk With God is a reminder to Christ-followers of the value of spiritual practices. Through the daily readings, Hensley reminds us of God’s love and our call to share God’s love with others. His simple approach and use of everyday language makes this daily devotional accessible for teenagers and adults of all ages.

Perhaps today more than ever, people are longing for spiritual rootedness in the midst of frenetic and fragmented living. Christopher Hensley offers what spiritual seekers desire in a form that makes its own contribution to the simplicity that belongs to the spiritual life: short Bible-based meditations that draw from the riches of Christian spirituality and guide the reader in taking up spiritual practices, written by a pastor gifted in communicating theological truths clearly and simply.
