The more I read through this book, the more my focus came to rest on Jesus. I find this to be very much a "be still and know that I am God" devotional, and to know His presence with me. It is not 'magic' but a gentle drawing of the heart to Jesus and finding His still calmness. The combined words of Brother Lawrence's quotes which acted as a launching pad of sorts for Joni's short sharings helped to tune my mind towards Jesus. These two sections were followed by a statement or a question of meditation to further the message's impact upon a believer's heartstrings.
The idea of fully engaging in practicing Jesus' presence in the way Joni explains will indeed be life changing despite any constant conflicts or pain a person may be enduring. The words really effectively give awareness that there can be such a practice and that it can be daily, or rather a minutely minute-by-minute exercise.
I'm really glad I got to read this book. I believe it will be very helpful for anyone who wishes to know Jesus' presence more in their life.
A 5-Star rating from me.
