<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>asting Time with God Klaus Issler considers seven character traits and companion disciplines to develop in light of God's friendship with us in order to help us make more room in our lives for him.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When it comes to developing a deep, trusting relationship with God, efficiency and productivity are not the answer. It's far better to "waste" time with him, to just enjoy being with him. After all, that's how any friendship grows. But making room for God in the midst of our fast-paced lives is not an easy task. Just as time with our best friends can get squeezed out by the rush of activities, so can time with God. Even "wasting time" with God means making a commitment and setting priorities--whether it's something we enjoy or not. Beginning with the supposition that God desires friendship with us, Klaus Issler encourages us to consider seven character traits and to develop their companion disciplines: friendship, humility, faith, commitment, communication, apprenticeship and partnership. Here is a full-orbed model of Christian spirituality that will be of lasting value.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Drawing from profound personal experience of God, Issler brings Christian theology to real life via pursuit of deep friendship with God. Attentive readers will be powerfully challenged to enter into such dynamic friendship and its resulting community of God. This is theology that goes to the heart of a reader."--Paul Moser, professor and chair of philosophy, Loyola University of Chicago<br><br>"For the cultures that are community and relationship oriented, as is the case in Africa, Klaus Issler's book would be an eye opener on what really being a Christian is all about. It is my hope that any person seeking to have a more personal experience of God would read this book."--Dr. Benjamin M. Musyoka, academic dean, Nairobi International School of Theology, Kenya<br><br>"I love the title, and I know I shall love the book! Anything that helps people intentionally put themselves into his presence and apply his dynamic life-changing Word has to be read, marked, learned and inwardly digested."--Jill Briscoe<br><br>"My greatest prayer for women is that they spend time with God. Life is so much better the deeper our friendship is with God. Klaus Issler explains to our hearts and minds who God is and how to deepen that friendship."--Pam Farrel, codirector, Masterful Living, and author of Woman of Influence<br><br>"The testimony of this book is that relationship--even friendship--with God is possible. More importantly, the stunning affirmation of the book is that the eternal God wants friendship with his people."--Linda Cannell, professor, educational ministries, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois<br><br>"Issler's treatment, solidly grounded in Scripture and carefully researched across a broad spectrum of sources, provides a welcome antidote to the exhausting and draining message of modern society. . . . It deserves a wide circulation and possesses many valuable principles for granting busy readers the permission to 'waste time with God' and grow more deeply in the most eternal relationship we will ever experience."--Calvin Theological Journal<br><br>"This book is eminently practical while remaining rooted in good theory based on Scripture and theology. . . . It is a book for all seasons, for all believers. Worth 'wasting time' to read!"--Christian Education Journal, (Spring 2002)<br>
