Close Enough To Hear God Breathe

Greg Paul

Close Enough To Hear God Breathe is a beautiful book that can give you a greater understand of God’s love for us. This book has five major parts – the heart of the matter, creation, the fall, redemption, and consummation. It tells the major events of the Great Story of God’s love for us in a beautiful, almost at poetic way at times. Greg starts the chapters usually with a captivating story that gets you hooked and want to finish the chapter. And he does not just tell an illustrative story just for the sake of telling a story or entertaining, but he ties it in with the main point of the chapter.

Throughout the book, I learned a great deal about Greg’s life and his struggles. But these issues are just not ones relatable to his life but also to mine. The questions he asks are some I have struggled through. The issues he discusses are some that I have pondered. At the end of the book, he offers study questions for a book study. The questions are reflective and could lend to good discussion. The chapters are short enough to read in one sitting, and Greg does a great job of showing how the Great Story is part of our story.
