Warren W. Wiersbe - He Walks with Me: Enjoying the Abiding Presence of God

They say you judge a book by its cover. Ive tried not to do that. Although I have nearly ten thousand books in my library, I seek to judge a book by the author and content. Covers can be misleading. Content is revealing.

As the author or editor of nearly two hundred books, Warren Wiersbe writes content that reveals a man who walks with God, listens to God, and knows Gods Word intimately. The book you hold in your hands is no exception.

One of the first books I ever purchased as a young minister was one of Warren Wiersbes BE series commentaries. That book helped me to stay balanced in my understanding of the Scriptures. As a pastor, I always check my Wiersbe commentaries to make sure Im balanced on my interpretation of a text.

Warren Wiersbe is respected by Sunday school teachers and seminary professors. He is read by laymen and scholars. His insights have helped millions of students of Gods Word.

In the 1990s, I finally got to meet Warren and his wife, Betty. Sometimes when you meet an author, you can see a vast difference between the person and the print. Not so with Warren. He lives what he writes. He loves the Lord he writes about. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to know him as a friend, encourager, and adviser. When I talk to him, I have pen and paper ready, because I know theres going to be a nugget of truth to write down and remember. I cherish every opportunity to talkmost of all, to listen.

This newest book from the desk of Dr. Wiersbe is what I would call classic Wiersbe. He Walks with Me is a journey through the I AM statements of our Lord (and a few other statements, as you will discover). These pages reveal the difference Christ makes today in the lives of those who embrace the truth. After reading these pages, you will have a greater grasp of who Jesus is and what He wants to do in your life today .

He Walks with Me is a reminder that our Lord is not a distant deity, nor is He just a figure of history. He is the living God, the great I AM. Dr. Wiersbe guides us through a practical and applicable study of these statements. While these statements are familiar, we often forget they are for us today, not just for those who heard them in the first century.

When you read this book, youll love Jesus more. Youll see how the divine life is intended to work itself out in daily living. Many books today seek to water down truth to make it more acceptable, but not this one. This book will stretch you to look to the Lord daily for all your needs.

In a day when many are offering cotton-candy theology, Warren Wiersbe takes us to the meat, bread, milk, and honey of the Word of God. The content is sound and scriptural. May the I AM speak to you, as He did to me.
