If I had to choose one time in my life that represented a turning point in my relationship with God, it would be the months I spent studying Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God. I was a sophomore in college and the pastor of my home church had decided to make this the Sunday School curriculum for the quarter. Even though I was unable to make it home for all but a few of the group sessions, the workbook made a significant impact on my life, leading me into a deeper relationship with God.

I have forgotten a lot of the principles in the book, but a question at my Xanga led me to pull it out and read through parts of it again. Some of what I read was basic to me, but other things were thought-provoking reminders. I was especially surprised to see a lot of things I've "relearned" in the last year as I've studied how to apply passion and vision.

If you've been through the Experiencing God workbook, why not pick it up again and glance through it? If you've never been through it, I recommend it highly. It will help you see that God wants you to be at work with Him, ministering in ways He will show you.

This study is not something to go into lightly. It takes a commitment of 30-45 minutes a day, five days a week. You don't have to go through it with a group, but you may find it easier to keep up with the work if you have at least one other person to be accountable to. It sounds like hard work, and it is, but it is so worth it!

Experiencing God Workbook By Henry T. Blackaby & Claude V. King / Lifeway Experiencing God, Knowing and Doing the Will of God will help you learn to hear when God is speaking to you, encourage you to find out where God is working in the world around you so that you can join him, and therefore experience Him working through you in ways only God can. A workbook that can change your life, Experiencing God leads you in an exploration of the seven vital aspects of your relationship with God: knowing, loving, hearing, joining, believing, obeying and experiencing. The workbook includes text, questions, and activities. Although it does contain parts of the book Experiencing God (with Study Guide), this is a separate book that corresponds to the video curriculum (#327764). It can also be used independently of the book and video. Each of the 12 units are divided into 5 daily lessons. (The lessons are non-reproducible.) A leader guide is also available (WW499512).
