Nearing a Far God: Praying the Psalms with Our Whole Selves

Leslie Leyland Fields hits the mark with her book, Nearing a Far God: Praying the Psalms with Our Whole Selves. By encouraging the reader to actively interact with and personalize the scriptures without altering them or compromising them, one is able to become more entrenched in their relevance and meaning. I also know that much Christian nonfiction can be very dry, but this book is super readable and very enjoyable. It helps you feel closer to God, similar to the scriptures. Not to blaspheme, but the Spirit does a great job of working through her text. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a closer walk with God.
