I will simply state at the outset that I believe Blackaby’s approach is not only unbiblical, but dangerous. The remainder of the book contains examples of how these principles worked out in the lives of Biblical characters and how to apprehend them for your own life. You come to know God by your experience as you obey and God works through you.You must make major adjustments to your life to join God’s work.God’s invitation always involves a crisis of faith for you.God speaks by the Holy Spirit through: the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal this.God invites you to become involved in His work.God pursues a love relationship with you.There are 7 “steps” that Blackaby proposes for knowing God’s will: “I invite you to interact with God throughout the reading of this book so He can reveal to you the ways He wants you to apply these principles in your own life, ministry, and church.” Blackaby’s goal in writing the book is expressed as such: Experiencing God remains popular even after it was first written 30 years ago. Blackaby is a Southern Baptist pastor and the main author of the book Experiencing God as well as its related “family of Bible studies” (which also include study guides, an Experiencing God Study Bible, a devotional journal, and, of course, a youth edition). ![]()

This is a story driven by human ingenuity and obsessive minds – from Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel to Francis Crick, James Watson and Rosalind Franklin, and the thousands of scientists still working to understand the code of codes. It reorganizes our understanding of sexuality, temperament, choice and free will. It intersects with Darwin's theory of evolution, and collides with the horrors of Nazi eugenics in the 1940s. The story of the gene begins in an obscure Augustinian abbey in Moravia in 1856 where a monk stumbles on the idea of a 'unit of heredity'. Spanning the globe and several centuries, The Gene is the story of the quest to decipher the master-code that makes and defines humans, that governs our form and function. ![]() ![]() ![]() At long last, social connection is recognized as critical to wellness and longevity.
