Reframe: From the God We've Made to God With Us
Accomplished recording producer Brian Hardin experienced a mediocre Christian faith until one day, he purposed to read the Bible daily. His resolve led to the start of the Daily Audio Bible, which after eight years has had more than 55 million downloads and feeds hundreds of thousands of listeners each day.
In the process of reading the Bible to his growing audience every day without fail, he has made a true, real friend in Jesus. Not a “Hey God, I know You’re up there somewhere” type of relationship, but one that contains the emotions, dialogue, and intimate moments that we long for from our closest of comrades. Brian found it necessary to entirely reframe his perception of God into a relationship as real as any experienced here on earth.
Reframe challenges you to change your paradigm about your relationship and connection with God, because in truth, you are engineered so that life will not work without Him. Reframe invites you to reconsider life and what it might look like if you were ruined for anything else but a life-giving connection to the almighty God.

I was going to give this a four star rating, because I've been giving too many books five stars lately. But honestly this book has changed my perspective on my relationship with God so much that I can't not give it five stars.
I've been listening to the Daily Audio Bible for about four months now, and I heard Brian announce Reframe when it first came out. Reading it, along with listening to Brian's messages every day, has marked a fundamental shift in my attitude towards God.
You want to know more about God. You want to understand Him better, maybe so you can serve Him better. But have you thought about the fact that He wants to get to know you as well? When Jesus says to the goats, "away from me, I never knew you," He is speaking of something deeper than the all-knowing, omniscient knowledge that He has about everything. He is speaking about a relational knowing. Have you allowed Him to know you deeply? To probe into the deepest parts of your heart and begin the healing process even there?

Absolutely crucial.
The elusive "personal relationship with Jesus" gets taken out of its trappings and clearly and heartfeltfully addressed. (I know that's not a word)
Please read this book. Then re-read it. And let's start a conversation that doesn't stop with 'amen'.
I recommend for everyone.

This book really makes you think. Right now there is so much to process about the book I feel I need to reread it.

This book has changed everything I previously thought about God. I am ruined for anything else. You should read this!!
I just finished reading Reframe. Not many books make me cry at the end. Not only did I cry with this one, but I full-out sobbed! Jesus has been speaking this message to my heart for years, but it seemed like a tiny, faraway dream. Now I physically held that message in my hands, loud and clear, right before my eyes, in the form of a book. My life has been one broken dream after another. Happily ever after was just a fairy tale, it seemed. But now Jesus is my happily ever after. I am ruined for anything else. My life, my attitude toward God, everything has been Reframed. Thank you, Brian Hardin, for your sensitivity to God and your willingness to lead us along the way.

I found the writing style to be a bit too sensationalist for my liking. Or at least a bit too prone to fluffy, vague, let's-get-going!-type language that makes you want to say "yeah!", but you don't always know what exactly you're saying yeah to. However, Hardin rightly encourages us to reflect on and challenge how we approach our relationship with God (and others). He makes many good points about who we make God out to be, who He really is, the role He plays--or should play--in our lives, and the role He invites us to play. Though the writing style wasn't quite within my tastes, I'm nonetheless considering re-reading it in hopes of better parsing through and solidifying for myself how I can better approach my relationship with God.

This book wasn't as good as I was hoping but it was still a decent read. The book is about normal size for a Spiritual Growth book (~150 pages). It wasn't as good as Sneezing Jesus was and that's why I was so hopeful. Brian does do a good job making scripture to come life in a similar way to Sneezing Jesus but I thought that this book would offer more on the subject of transforming my mind to Christs and it did not. It was still a decent read though.

Beautifully written!
I absolutely loved Reframe. Brian Hardin’s passion for God and His Kingdom resounds on every page of this testimony of faith. This book will inspire me for the rest of my life. I plan to read it again and again.

I love Brian Hardin. He brings context to reading the Bible, and this open conversation - because really, that's how he writes this book, like he is sitting there having a conversation with you about your relationship with God, is no different. I found myself only able to read this book in small sections, pondering and rereading as I went. This shook the way that I look at having a relationship with God, turned it completely upside down in my head.

Excellent book! Easy to read! Really makes you stop and think about your relationship with God. Is it one sided? Am I only and expecting to just to receive things from God?
That just reading the Bible as a biography of God or an instruction manual is not what God intended for us to get out of reading his word. There is a lot of thought provoking things in this book.

Reframe is not a novel, but rather an inspirational book to help you readjust your life and get your relationship with Jesus back on track as a personal, intimate connection with Him. Brian Hardin, the author, states that knowing all the facts about God will not make a deep, true relationship with Him just as knowing all the facts about your spouse will make a successful relationship with your spouse. It is the interaction between the two, the give and take of information, sharing of emotion, dialogue and time spent together that creates that deep personal relationship.
Hardin says that “what God wants is an honest, loving, loyal, and intimate relationship with us.” (Loc. 1150) and that “He wants to be holistically included in everything we do and think and dream about and hope for.” (Loc. 1172) He also states that “talking to Him isn’t just about gratefulness or worship or petition or complaint. It’s all of that and everything else that happens every day.” (Loc. 1174)
Reframe challenges us to change – change the way we do life. The challenge is that we “will be entering into a first-person, always-on, never-off relationship with the God of all at all times and in all places for the rest of eternity.” (Loc. 1475) We need to include Christ in our life – but not just so that we can know Him more, but “it is the act of completely and irreversibly opening your heart to God and giving yourself wholly back to Him – to know and be known.” (Loc. 1622)
I thought that this was perhaps not such a new concept, but an old one that we have long forgotten, for Hardin backed up his ideas with Scripture. All through the Bible we see God pursuing us, calling out to us, to share in a relationship with Him. Hardin points directs us to Old and New Testament verses that show us that God does not want to be shut up in the box that we have put Him in where we only let Him out on Sundays or just before mealtimes when we say grace. He wants to, as His name Emmanuel means, be “God with us” at all times.
I for one have been challenged by this book to re-think what my relationship with God looks like. I want to recognize and feel Jesus’ presence with me all day, every day and able chat conversationally with Him about whatever is going on, on a moment by moment basis. I plan on reframing my relationship with Jesus so that it will be what God meant it to be.
Reframe is both inspiring and challenging, and a call to change. It included anecdotes from Hardin’s life and I found the book to be so interesting I zipped through it highlighting important phrases and sentences along the way.
I thoroughly enjoyed Reframe, and I would highly recommend it to everyone who considers him/herself a Christian. I gave this book a rating of 5 stars out of 5.

Brian Hardin writes a terrific book explaining how important it is to be in a relationship with God. It’s so nice to hear that God wants to be in a relationship with us. Brian says, “We exchange knowledge about Him for a relationship with Him.” We need to get beyond this, and move into a better relationship. Reframe shows us that just because we read a lot of information about God, hear a lot of testimony and opinions of others about God, visit God for an hour at church every Sunday, does not mean we are in a relationship with God.
Here’s my example: I admire the Chef Gordon Ramsay, and I’m a huge fan. I can watch his TV shows, I can read his cook books, I can follow him on Facebook, I can read a lot of information about him, I can go to all of his restaurants, I can cook his recipes. But this does not give me a relationship with Gordon Ramsay. I’m just a fan. Don’t just be a fan of God.
“We look to God to get us out of trouble and wonder why He allows us to get into it in the first place without owning our own actions – a complete misjudgment.” (Brian Hardin – Reframe)
I do this all the time! I pray, “Dear God, please help me to get out of trouble.” God didn’t get me into trouble, that’s totally my doing. We need to own our own actions. Reframe shows us that by inviting God into our lives every day, all day, we’ll be able to get into the kind of relationship God wants us to have with Him. He truly loves us.
Reframe will go through the process to rethink, reframe and restart. You’ll need to start by looking inside yourself, and be ready to change. This is a good book and I highly recommend it. Whether your journey with God has been a smooth and easy road, or you feel that your journey takes you on rocky cliffs and you can barely hang on, this book is for you.

Knowing about God is not the same as being intimately connected with God. Hardin challenges us to rethink what we know about God and how we relate to Him. It's a great book.
Hardin helps us understand what a relationship with God isn't, what we might need to give up, and what it could be – the missing puzzle pieces that complete our lives.
We believe God exists, that He loves us and wants a relationship with us. We believe we should likewise want a relationship with Him. But who is this God and how do we discover Him in a personal way?
I really appreciate Hardin's honesty about the difficult aspects of a relationship with God. One area is our confusion regarding God's role in our lives. We may feel He has let us down. That's hard to get over.
I was surprised at Hardin writing that we must feed our starving soul from the inside out. The relationship must be cultivated from within. He suggests we invite God into every thought, word and deed in our lives. God is woven into the very fabric of who we are as believers.
I am very impressed with this book. It really spoke to me and my desire to have a vital connection with God. I was relieved to find out that reading the Bible isn't enough. That will increase our knowledge of God but developing an intimate relationship is something that must come from the inside of us.
I highly recommend this book. It is life transforming. Having an intimate connection with God and how that comes about finally made sense to me.
Food for thought from Hardin: “I want to be ruined for anything less than a life-giving connection to God. Don't you?”

What if we viewed things from the perspective that we need God? Like air, water, food, and sleep, we need God to survive. Being made in His image, we have to seek Him in order to truly find us. I must admit that such a thought has become more and more pressing in my life. Enter the book Reframe by Brian Hardin.
Hardin sets forth to point out that we need God; desperately. Until such desperation happens we will feel empyt and void. In his book, he points out three areas in which our thinking has to be changed in order to be made whole in God.
First, we have to rethink in three areas: us, the box (how we limit God, and finally God himself. Rethinking must take place because without it we will continue to operate counter to what God has planned for us.
Second, we have to reframe in the areas of starvation and nourishment. What Hardin means by this is we deprive ourselves from God and starve our souls from Him. We must have God. This should lead to nourishment: finding fulfillment in God alone. By finding soul-satisfying life in God we feed the starvation we so longingly crave. To be nourished, Hardin says this:
-Reframe your spiritual life: everything is spiritual
-Reframe the Bible: it is a friend; not a bully
-Reframe your prayer life: life is prayer
-Reframe God: He is not aloof and distant. He has done everything you allow Him to do in order to be with you.
Finally, restart and do this by changing everything. Change must happen and it starts with changing how God is viewed. From this vantage point, everything else begins to change and come inline with God's plan. That is the message of this book and it is a message that must be shared.

Many of us know God, but how deep is our relationship to God? How much time do you give God each day? This is a splendid book written by Brian Hardin on how to get you into a glorious relationship with God.
Honestly, this book will make you rethink your relationship with God, and how much time you give to Him everyday. No more run of the mill devotions, done on the run. Sit down and take some quality quiet time with God. In his book Brian Hardin will coach you through the process and truly let you see how important this is in our lives as Christians.
An amazing book that is good for both mature Christians and those who are new in the faith.

“God has been waiting a long time to be more than a compartment in your life” (Reframe, page 145).
When I read the above sentence, I had to stop and re-read it.
Digest it.
Contemplate it.
Fully soak it in.
I had to dig deep within myself and accept that, God has been waiting a long time to be more than a compartment in my life.
That’s a humbling realization – that God needs to be more than what I’ve allowed. Me, a punk of a human being, who is under the impression that I have the capacity to allow and allocate only certain aspects of my life to God, the all-knowing, all-powerful, omnipotent, omnipresent Creator.
Talk about a reality check.

December 28, 2015I'm going to cop out of a star review as I tend to do with nonfiction books of this nature. The artistic merit of books like this is nonexistent, which is intentional due to the conversational tone meant to deliver a straightforward message. I disagree with much of the individualism, but I think that, more so than Skye Jethani's With, Reframe provides an undiluted glimpse into the mindset and aspirations of most American evangelicals. This book could be a Rosetta Stone for friends and family members of those who would find encouragement in its pages.

This book is about having a real relationship with God. Digging deeper and connecting with him. There are so many does and don’ts that people throw at each other about what they think God wants. When in reality what God wants is to connect with us, to have a relationship with us. A real relationship. To not just know him from what other people say, but to actually know him from connecting with him.

So I don't talk about it much, but there was a night in October right after I finished chemo where I had a burn reaction and I thought I was going to die. And in between unconciousness and mutters for mercy, Jesus was there. This book is the closest thing I've been able to find to describe how my relationship with Him changed that night.

Eye opening!
I found this book to be thought-provoking and insightful. I have been a Christian for many years, but this book changed my perspective on some things. I have a new understanding of what a "relationship with God" looks like. I highly recommend it to all believers, new and old!

Brian Hardin is a good writer, an eloquent explainer of Christianity to a generation that doesn't have a frame of reference for faith, the Bible and the church. So I might not be his intended audience but the book spoke to me anyhow.
Does God change? No. But my understanding of Him and my relationship with Him do. That's ultimately what this book is about.
Good book.

This is a great book about God, His Word and your walk with Him. It's a fast read. It's about our going back to God. Return to Him. Its so well worth it. The last chapter is really good and inspiring. Take a chance and read it.

Brian Hardin is a soldier. A great man. This book contains many important and great concepts. Probably not a book necessary for the critical scholar but if you are searching for some fundamental & practical advice & starting/restarting points reading this book would be time well spent.

A good reminder or wake up call
We often get so caught up in our daily activities that we tend to try to fit God into what we are doing and what we are about that we forget that we need to align ourselves to Him, to His purpose, and His ways.

He is a new author to me. Pretty good read, similar for me to Ragamuffin Gospel or Waking the Dead. Would like to go back and reread.

I truly appreciate this book. I will be re reading in the future. I want this kind of relationship with Jesus.
