Edwards is a self-proclaimed doer. As such, he has always had a tough time with the various methods of “being” a Christian. In order to deepen his relationship with Christ, he had to figure out a way to do this that matched his personality.

In Living Close To God (When You’re Not Good At It), Edwards describes just how he has done this.

While there was much in this book that was excellent, very little of his strategy resonated with me. I’m quite content to sit with my Bible and read for hours; and gain much from it. I’m probably the exact opposite of who he wrote this book for.

But the strategies that he describes look to be something that would work well for those who has a similar disposition as Edwards. He has also included two study guides, one for groups, and another for individuals to utilize to help them familiarize themselves with the practices outlined here.

All in all, Living Close To God (When You’re Not Good At It) seems to be a great resource for deepening the spiritual life, and one I’m glad to have on my shelf.
