Do
you want to experience Jesus as real? When we look at Jesus' life on
earth, we see Him calling people to simply know Him. He made no demand
on them to believe theological propositions. "Follow me" was the
invitation which they accepted. They got to know and communicate with
the real person. There is a big difference between believing something
is true and experiencing it as real. This is the story of how Wally
Armstrong learned to communicate with the real person of Jesus in his
everyday life. Armstrong experiences Jesus up close and personal and
introduces readers to the same experience. In a conversational manner,
he explores what it is like to have a relationship with Jesus as if He
is sitting right there next to us. He keeps an empty chair ready and
imagines Jesus sitting beside him as they talk.

Review: I had a good laugh while reading the first part of this book where the author talks about seeing Jesus at the Masters. Of course he is referring to Jim Caviezel whom I often refer to as the actor that played Jesus in The Passion as well. He continues on sharing how he truly has experienced the presence of Jesus. I think my favorite quote from the book is
"The key is that he does want to speak to us - to you- today. In your own language, just as a friend would speak. We simply need to take the time to listen."
Jesus wants us to have a relationship with him and if we commit to our relationship with him like we do our most treasured friendships we will find ourselves in his presence. Practicing the Presence of Jesus is a small easy to read book that would make a great holiday gift or stocking stuffer. You can check out more thoughts on this book on the blog tour webpage.
