God's Front Door: Private Conversations

by Jill Briscoe

C. S. Lewis once described Christians as being "outside of the world, the wrong side of the door." But as long as we are here on earth, we need only knock on God's front door to speak with Him. In this beautiful book, Jill Briscoe writes several short dialogues with the Father as she sees His hand at work in the diverse circumstances of life. She covers everything from the big problems—war, separation from family, and the divorce and remarriage of a child—to the more every day problems—interruptions in one's hectic schedule and disappointments with people. God's Front Door is a very human book and Jill speaks openly and honestly about her fears and failings. "It's a privilege to recommend this book for your pleasure, enrichment and inspiration." —Ruth Bell Graham

One of the most beautiful written books I have ever read apart from the Bible. Jill just made you feel like you were meeting Jesus at her Front Door too, My tears flowed along with hers as I just felt Jesus is in the room with me as I read this wonderful book. People might say well how can she see Jesus or he can touch her, I can promise you Jesus comes to people in all kinds of ways if you truly seek him with all your heart.. Recommend to all Believers and Non Believers alike and any age group. These are Jill's private conversation to the Lord and her poems are so gorgeous. I thank Jill for sharing such Intimate thoughts to me as a believer and someone who talks to God everyday all day.. I don't have a religion but I do have a relationship with the Lord and I know without a doubt I am his.. Gina Clabo

This is another one that I loved by Briscoe. Now, I love her Deep Places Nobody Goes... a little more. However, this is beautiful too.
