Richard Brunton

This was a short, easy read, but very good. I loved the encouragement Brunton gave to seek the Lord’s help and blessing even in the “normal” parts of work life. He gave some wonderful examples of answers to prayer in here, as well as practical steps for how to invite the Lord into even the more secular areas of life. For example, he talks about praying over his worker’s chairs early one morning, calling God’s help and blessing down on them. And he talks about getting people experienced in the work fields you’re going into to pray specific help and blessing over you—like a soon-to-be mother getting other mothers to come around her and bless her as she starts her journey in motherhood. I loved that idea!

I came away with a lot to think about from this book, and though I didn’t agree with everything doctrinally, I found it quite encouraging. I’d like to read it again to see what more I could get out of it!… (meer)
