My pastor told me this is a "must read" and he was right. Most of us who have been in ministry of any kind for awhile have built up some baggage and need to get back to a foundation of just being alone with Jesus without words and distraction. This book does as good a job as any I've seen at blowing away the fluff that distracts from the "one thing" that's necessary.

This is a must read for any pastor or layperson who wants to pursue an authentic, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ that impacts your world. It's short sweet and to the point. I find myself reading it year after year.
