God Up Close: How to Meditate on His Word

by Doug McIntosh, Paul McIntosh

'This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.' - ~Joshua 1:8You would think, given the Source of such a claim, that people would be climbing all over themselves in their efforts to meditate on the Word of God. Alas, it is not so. Meditation is an art that somehow has been lost. Yes, we desire to please God and receive His blessing. We spend time in prayer and reading His Word. But we have not put enough stock in the promises asserted in the Bible regarding meditation.Join Doug McInosh in seeing God Up Close. Take a look at the ancient and divinely commended practice of meditation to discover what it is, how to do it, and the difference it can make in your life, and even in the world around you. Learn to realize the truth, reflect on it, and respond to God on the basis of it.Meditation is not simply for the cloistered. It is for every believer who desires a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not a laborious process, but rather one that comes overflowing with blessings and promises from God. Makes your time with the Lord more profitable. Learn to see God Up Close.

A helpful reminder of careful reading, as well as the joy that comes from a committed and regular devotion to scripture.

Fantastic book on how to build your relationship with God! It's out of print, but can be found used.

I learned that I don't meditate on God's word nearly enough. Doug gives compelling proof of its benefit and blessing and a challenge to the serious Christian to make meditation an integral part of each day.
