As Christians, we long for communion with the Lord. But in the busyness and routine habits of our days, we sometimes miss chances to meet Him and the fire inside smolders down to a mere glow. Author Anne Graham Lotz shares from personal journey that took her from burned out to blazing fire that you can experience too. Be refreshed from the encouragement you'll find in this book and get ready for a deeper relationship to be rekindled in your spirit.
Christians who feel they are missing something will wake up to how much Jesus loves them and passionately desires to revive their lives through a fresh commitment to holiness. A revived faith means a life totally dedicated to God and totally committed to the Word of God. Relationship with God takes first priority; service and mission flow from this deepened, intimate, personal relationship with God.
In this book, evangelist Lotz (Just Give Me Jesus) postulates that it's
possible to do everything right-go to church, pray, read your Bible, be
involved in ministry-and still lack a "fire of personal revival" in your
relationship with God. Exactly what that fire is and how to find it are a bit
unclear, although it appears to be a strong emotional pull combined with
complete obedience to God. Lotz uses the experience of Isaiah when God
appeared to him after King Uzziah's death as an example of revival (at times
stretching that story to make it fit her points) and recounts the revival
story of a friend who had a life-changing experience at one of Lotz's revival
meetings. At times Lotz's reasoning is questionable, as when she assumes that
any waning of spiritual emotion is evidence of sin, or suggests that every
difficult circumstance is God's way of telling us to "wake up But there's some
good basic information on living the Christian life, written with great
enthusiasm. (Mar.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

An awesome book about personal revival based on the life of Isaiah. An added bonus are the Scripture-Study Worksheets included in the Appendix. Ms. Lotz is a wonderful author with a wonderful message of hope and encouragement.

This book is truly a blessing and a direct challenge from the Lord through Ms. Lotz for us to desire a wake-up call (revival) in our hearts and lives. I have bought this for two other people and have been encouraging folks at church to read it as well. I plan on reading it again as this book has come at just the right time in my life. May everyone who reads this experience a transformation of their heart and desire to "see the Lord" in their Christian life.

I absolutely loved this book. I read the entire book in 2 days. I could not put it down. I'm so anxious to go back over it, pray and apply its message to my life. If you want to truly "see the Lord" this is the book to read!

Great things come in small packages. And Anne Graham Lotz’s book, I Saw The Lord: A Wake-up Call For Your Heart proves this. This 240-page, convicting, inspiring, yet conversational book takes you on a journey like no other focusing on Isaiah 6:1-8. It carries a punch! But Anne Graham Lotz goes on the journey with you, sharing her personal experiences, lessons learned – both harsh and easy – and rejoices with you as you see the Light as never before. Be warned: I Saw The Lord isn’t a journey for those who are content with a surface relationship with Christ.
“I believe the answer is that there is more to knowing God than just head knowledge alone. I believe the kingdom of God is desperate for churches that are filled, not with good Christians, but filled with great ones – Christians whose knowledge of God has made the eighteen inch drop from their heads to their hearts. Until that drop occurs within us, we lack heart because we lack vision.”
Anne Graham Lotz is highly encouraging, but asks gut-wrenching, hard-to-read questions: “What has caused you to doubt that Jesus sits on the throne? Do you feel separated from God? Have you ever felt abandoned by Him?”
Her “Just Say Yes,” “Move Your Feet,” and “Stay Awake” chapters were especially helpful and encouraging to me. Usually, after I write a review there’s a friend or family member I pass on the book to whomever I think would benefit or enjoy the book, too. With I Saw The Lord: A Wake-up Call For Your Heart, I can’t pick just one! – Leilani Wells, Christian Book Previews.com
