The Pleasure Of His Company by Dutch Sheets

Do you believe it is possible to have a personal relationship with God?  The author Dutch Sheets has pastored, taught in colleges and seminaries and written books on trying to encourage the reader to have a personal relationship with God.  The chapters  in this book are concise, filled with humorous stories that fit in with the subject matter, also filled with scripture and always end with a prayer.  The author goes back to the Greek text for word definitions to illustrate the true meaning of the Bible text he is referencing.  He is not afraid to be transparent by showing that he is human and has faults.  However he seems very sincere in his beliefs that Christians  can have the kid of relationship with God that he shares.
He opens his book with who God and Jesus are and their attributes.  The author feels that many people have a misconception that God is uncaring, distant, vindictive an judgmental.  But Mr. Sheet's tries  to show how God is the creator of every thing and everyone and that he desires the pleasure of our company.  God does not force himself on us but waits for us to come to Him.  The author shares how we have become so distracted by the pressures of life that we fail to give God time.  We expect God to listen quickly to our requests and respond rapidly with the answers.  However we can only hear God when we slow down and listen.  Now why don't you sit back in your easy chair with a cup of your favorite beverage and read this book and see if you can't improve your relationship with your creator.
I have received a free copy of this book from Bethany Publishing House, and this review is strictly my own opinions.  I would give this book four stars.
