Book Sneeze Review (God in my Everything)
I was very curious to read Ken Shigematsu's new book, God in my Everything (How an Ancient Rhythm Helps Busy People Enjoy God). I love that title and honestly that is my heart cry. I want to learn how to live in a way that God is in every part of my life. I received this book from Book Sneeze and I in turn agreed to write this review.
Ken Shigematsu is the Senior Pastor of Tenth Church in Vancouver, BC. Ken's main purpose of this book is to show the reader that the time-tested spiritual practice of the "rule of life" can enrich their relationship with God. Ken writes about how as Christians we long to have a deeper relationship with God, but the busyness of life makes is difficult. I totally agree with him.
For this review I am not going to try to explain the "rule of life" practice, but encourage you to read the book and find out the full meaning of this practice. However, in the book Ken writes this about the rule of life, "It serves as a pattern for life that enables us to experience the presence of Jesus in each moment of our lives, empowering us to become people who embody his love to others". I like that statement. Ken talks about how the "rule of life" can be applied in all areas of life from your personal time with God, your own health, finances, and to your relationship with your family and friends.
I recommend this book to anyone who is feeling like life is getting too busy and your time with God is suffering as a result. There are several great takeaways from this book that I will try to implement in my own life. It is an easy read and you will probably be finished reading the book in a few days.
Thank you Book Sneeze for another great read, and of course a thanks to Ken Shigematsu.
