Is something missing in your spiritual life? Do you ever feel like you’re spiritually driving around with the parking brake on? If your answer is yes to these questions and you’ve been a follower of Jesus Christ for a number of years, then this book is for you. But be cautioned, for as you go through this book you will experience God challenging you to a deeper faith and gently putting His finger on those areas of your life that need some loving attention. You cannot read and apply the teaching of this book and not be challenged.
Running with God is designed to strengthen you in your faith experience and take you to the next level in your spiritual maturity. It will provide you with: • knowledge of how to experience and encounter God in real and wondrous ways • a training program to help you become more disciplined and mature in your relationship with God • testimonies of individuals who have experienced God moving in their lives • practical and biblical insight to help you overcome the hindrances that are holding you back from growing spiritually • confidence in knowing God and the ability to understand His will in everyday situations

This book follows my earlier book, 10 Steps to Knowing God, in which I talked about what it means to know God and the fundamentals of how to develop a real relationship with Him. Running with God has been written to take you a step further into spiritual maturity, teaching you the keys to growing in your faith and dealing with hindrances that might be holding you back. If you believe God is calling you to a greater faith and experience of Him but are not sure how to find it, then this is the book you need to read.
It was an honor for me to partner with Liz Linssen on editing this book, as well as her newest book, Nature of Faith and Miracles, due out in 2014.
Liz bases everything she says on God's Word. This book is saturated with Scripture. Liz uses creative stories (both her own and those of her friends), good illustrations, and excellent commentary.
I really liked the comparisons between running and other forms of training with spiritual training. I found it easy to relate to her teaching and very easy to understand and apply the stages of spiritual development by seeing it as spiritual training.
This is not a book of theory! It's written by someone who has obviously worked on her own spiritual training, struggled along with way, and kept going. Liz is unapologetically passionate not only about her own spiritual growth but that of others as well.
