Review: The Pleasure of His Company: A Journey to Intimate
Friendship with God
Dutch Sheets
Bethany House Publishers
2014
A pleasure to read as well as a journey sums up how I see
this book from Dutch Sheets. Sheets
style is gentle, but still able to lead his reader toward God. I like that and especially in this
format. The book is divided into 30
readings or chapters and could easily be a devotional book for anyone. As the back cover says, “Learn from Dutch
Sheets as he shares his life lessons for cultivating an intimate relationship
with God.” But before you think he’s
going to share a formula or 7 easy steps, listen to what he has to say in this
quote, “Every time I see another church-growth conference advertised, I
cringe. It isn’t that the principles
shared are wrong… But each of us still must allow the Holy Spirit to show us
how and apply the principles to our personal lives and ministries.” (150) He wants each of us to travel our journey as
the Spirit leads. That makes this valuable resource to start our wheels turning
toward discovering the pleasure of God’s company. And that company is a genuine pleasure.
Thirty days of reading can start a new habit in your
life. I recommend this book for its
gentleness and prompting toward the journey.
See if you agree with my thoughts when you read through this for
yourself.
I received this book from the publisher in return for a
review.
