Here's a note from Wendy in Victor Harbor, Australia:  

"Just wanted to let you know that I finished reading your book yesterday.  It was great!  So well written.  I could identify with everything you said.  I have been putting these things into practice in the last few of year and it truly has refreshed my spiritual life.  Well done mate!  It will be a great encouragement to many I'm sure.  I read through part of a chapter each morning in my quiet time and looked up and studied the verses.  Now a friend has taken it over."

And another one from Ian, in Hamilton, Ontario.

I just wanted to thank you for your book "Refresh."  I have started reading it and I must say that it is exceptional!  In the past, in my desire to understand spiritual disciplines more fully, I have looked for a practical and helpful book.  Most that I have found have been too philosopical.  Ironic, isn't it, that a discussion of strengthening our faith by "doing our faith" through spiritual disciplines can quickly turn into an academic or abstract discussion.

I really like the format of the book.  Each section is helpful.  The Bible story at the beginning of each chapter (told in the first person!) is a great introduction.  It shows the "real-ness" of the spiritual activity as it places in the life of real people in the Bible.  I like the clear explanation of "What we're talking about" and the selected Bible verses to lay a strong foundation are also helpful.

  • Well I've only read one chapter so far. And re-read it. Not because the book is hard to read, but because already chapter 1 on Solitude has been a challenge to my heart. It's making me think. Which is a good thing, but not an easy thing. I can already tell that finding that solitude is going to be key in my spiritual refreshment. So I'm going to give myself some time to work through the book and not read it as I would normally - in 1 or 2 sittings. But it's not because it's a boring book to read. On the contrary, I'm finding it challenging and intriguing and enjoying it a lot already. So for that reason, my reviews will be ongoing and not just one review at the end! Thanks Ron for a great tool in my walk with the Lord!

  • We are using "Refresh" as our study book for the ladies at the chapel. There is always good discussion at the study session. From the comments made I know that most of the ladies are reading the chapter and doing the work. More importantly we are challenged to make changes in our life which will leave us truly refreshed. Thank you for the study pages. They are a big help keeping us focused on the topic.
