Prosper: Enjoying Intimacy with God

"Our family read this book out loud together this year and I have been meaning to share about it for awhile now because it is not only excellent in what it talks about, but it also asks really good questions. Prosper, Enjoying Intimacy with God by Nate Bramsen is a fitting and excellent book that will encourage and challenge any believer. I will limit my review of it to the context of a read aloud for family devotions HOWEVER, I will say we have gifted over a dozen copies of this book and it's been met with an enthusiastic response from a variety of Christians in a variety of unique situations. Each chapter stands as it's own read aloud for a devotional, perfectly suitable for reading with company should you happen to have guests over who haven't enjoyed earlier chapters. But what we truly LOVED as a family was the assortment of 'questions to consider' at the end of each chapter. From truly challenging questions to deeply reflective the conversations inspired by the questions were SO good for our family to discuss. We found many of the questions to be edifying for the church - causing us to think about the impact other believers have had on our life and appreciate their obedience to God and how that affected us. Truly precious conversations to have with one's teenagers! Our family would recommend this book as read aloud for family devotions for preteen age on up." — Jessica, https://www.amazon.com/Prosper-Enjoying-Intimacy-Nate-Bramsen

"Great resource for your personal devotions or in a discipleship study. Each chapter contains challenging life application questions. Definitely one you will revisit! It also has some excellent suggestions regarding Bible study methods in the appendix. Well worth the investment of your time and resources." — Kenny, https://www.amazon.com/Prosper-Enjoying-Intimacy-Nate-Bramsen
