Drawn from Catherine Marshall's personal journals during her most creative years, A Closer Walk provides discoveries to enhance a more intimate walk with your Lord. Throughout Catherine's life the Bible was the traveler's staff on which she leaned. The Bible was the book she returned to over and over again for guidance. What resulted was a true love affair between Catherine and her much-thumbed passages of Scripture. Daily Bible reading and her passion to understand what she read led her to discover specific guidance for her own walk with God.
This book includes Catherine's thoughts on over 60 subjects, such as:
A New Way to See Jesus
Dealing with a Major Mistake
Why do we Judge Others
Criticalness
To Forgive. . . and Forget
The Dry Period
Worry: Be Gone
Trusting God
Fear of Death
Grief Work
Receiving Love
. . . and many more faith life issues straight from Catherine's journals
A Closer Walk includes "Catherine's Spiritual Lifeline" - 42 powerful verses that Catherine relied on and grappled with during those times of crisis. A Closer Walk, a Gold Medallion Award winner, will encourage you to take the same journey to the heart of God - enriching your life and drawing you into your own closer walk with the Lord.
