Summary
As a woman who wants to follow Jesus in her everyday life， you yearn for intimacy with God。 You long to know His presence， to be satisfied in heart and soul， but you don't know how。 You feel like you're trudging through your days， making sure you're doing everything you can for Him 。 。 。 but you can't shake the feeling that something is missing。
Linda Dillow understands。 She longed for depth of intimacy with God， but in the middle of a busy and complicated life， realized that she'd settled for serving Him。 And when our actions for God are our primary focus， we miss the extraordinary honor of getting to be with Him。 So how can we be with Him？ Through a life of worship。
True worship is both a specific act and a lifestyle。 As you learn what it means to bow your knee （the act of worship）， you'll gain a renewed intimacy with God。 And as you learn to bow your thoughts， words， work， attitudes， will， and even pain （the lifestyle of worship）， you'll be drawn into God's holy and life-giving presence--the place where He will truly satisfy your thirsty soul。

If I could only recommend one book for women who want a deeper relationship with God， it would be this one。 This book met me in my place of deep need and desire， and God used it to draw me closer to Him and reveal His earnest desire for face-to-face intimacy in worship。 In fact， Linda’s gentle encouragements to daily worship experiences led to me a spiritual revival in my own life， and this book spring-boarded me into writing

“Worship is not just a specific act。 It is also a lifestyle。”“Worship begins in holy expectancy and ends in holy obedience。”This is an amazing book to understanding how to have awe filled worship and bask in the presence of God everyday。 Really great book and has great applications！

Why did I wait too long to finish this？ Ah， because of the timing of every chapter = my real life。 Will definitely review this on the blog soon。 :）

Done during a women’s study。 The only problem was some weeks we had to do two chapters with the exercises & questions。 I recommend doing one chapter a week。

I know it looks like it took me forever to read this book， however， I was doing it with a group of ladies at our local church。 Taking each chapter and breaking them down with numerous opinions was refreshing。 Linda Dillow takes you deep into finding that "worship with Jesus" time。She shares several stories from people she's come in contact with and uses every moment to worship and bow to Jesus。 I did enjoy this book very much， it will remain in my book collection for future reference。 I know it looks like it took me forever to read this book， however， I was doing it with a group of ladies at our local church。 Taking each chapter and breaking them down with numerous opinions was refreshing。 Linda Dillow takes you deep into finding that "worship with Jesus" time。She shares several stories from people she's come in contact with and uses every moment to worship and bow to Jesus。 I did enjoy this book very much， it will remain in my book collection for future reference。 。。。more

A wonderful study with good practical advice on how to achieve and maintain intimacy with God。 As Dillow says， "When we adore Him， worship becomes a completely personal love exchange between God and the worshipper！" This sums up the essence of the book。 I also appreciated the mostly practical 12 week bible study that was included and not sold separately。 Well done， Ms。 Dillow。 A wonderful study with good practical advice on how to achieve and maintain intimacy with God。 As Dillow says， "When we adore Him， worship becomes a completely personal love exchange between God and the worshipper！" This sums up the essence of the book。 I also appreciated the mostly practical 12 week bible study that was included and not sold separately。 Well done， Ms。 Dillow。 。。。more

I have read this book over and over and over。 One time I read it only to immediately reread it。 When I feel spiritually dry， it reminds me how to get back into His word and why I need to。

The most positively influential book of my year （second to the Bible） and among the top of my adulthood。 Thankful for this book。

Are you looking for a deeper connection with God？ Are you wondering when this personal relationship is going to start feeling like a real relationship？ Maybe going to church every Sunday morning and reading your bible daily aren't enough anymore。 Maybe even your daily prayers are beginning to seem a bit redundant and seeming not to reach past the ceiling。 If this sounds like you， then this book is for you。I absolutely loved reading every page of this book。Linda Dillow presented herself as transp Are you looking for a deeper connection with God？ Are you wondering when this personal relationship is going to start feeling like a real relationship？ Maybe going to church every Sunday morning and reading your bible daily aren't enough anymore。 Maybe even your daily prayers are beginning to seem a bit redundant and seeming not to reach past the ceiling。 If this sounds like you， then this book is for you。I absolutely loved reading every page of this book。Linda Dillow presented herself as transparent in writing this book。 She brought me into a deeper relationship with God。This book may not be thick， but it sure is heavy with spiritual gains。 I can't speak highly enough of it。 As you will see when you read it for yourself。 She is serious about giving God her all and generous enough to share what she has learned so that others can find a closer relationship with their Creator as well。 This book is practical， easy to read， interesting to follow and an all around excellent Christian read for women of all walks of life。 。。。more

A lot about Dillow's writing style irritated me， but what I gained from her insights and the study portion at the end of the book far outweighs that。 The way I approach prayer has already changed forever， and my understanding of worship has expanded。 Beyond the book itself， what God taught me through it is priceless。 How amazing is that？ A lot about Dillow's writing style irritated me， but what I gained from her insights and the study portion at the end of the book far outweighs that。 The way I approach prayer has already changed forever， and my understanding of worship has expanded。 Beyond the book itself， what God taught me through it is priceless。 How amazing is that？ 。。。more

I don't know if it is me or the book， but I had a hard time getting through it。 Perhaps I'm not in a spiritual place right now that allows me to be open to these ideas， perhaps the writing is just not jiving with me。 The concepts make sense and appear to be appropriate。 This just didn't impact me like "Calm My Anxious Heart" did。 I don't know if it is me or the book， but I had a hard time getting through it。 Perhaps I'm not in a spiritual place right now that allows me to be open to these ideas， perhaps the writing is just not jiving with me。 The concepts make sense and appear to be appropriate。 This just didn't impact me like "Calm My Anxious Heart" did。 。。。more

A very satisfying read and I believe I got so much more out of it because I read it with some wonderful ladies in a Bible study group。 It was so nice to connect with them and discuss each chapter weekly for 12 weeks！ I did not necessarily make every change in the book， but I definitely grew over the three months we met to cover this book！ Of course， I still need to grow more but I can see where I made progress！I loved the book of James 3: 7-8 "For every species of beasts and birds， of reptiles a A very satisfying read and I believe I got so much more out of it because I read it with some wonderful ladies in a Bible study group。 It was so nice to connect with them and discuss each chapter weekly for 12 weeks！ I did not necessarily make every change in the book， but I definitely grew over the three months we met to cover this book！ Of course， I still need to grow more but I can see where I made progress！I loved the book of James 3: 7-8 "For every species of beasts and birds， of reptiles and creatures of the sea， is tamed and has been tamed by the human race。 But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison。" I truly need to think before I speak because my tongue does need taming at times and I know how much words can harm。I have also tried to grow in my gratitude and be thankful for all that I have。 When disappointed or angry， I need to remember to be thankful for the blessings I have received。We start our next Bible study in January and I look forward to it！ 。。。more

Under whelming， mundane， not much new here。 I disagreed with much of what she said:（ I finished this in March but did not add it。 I can not figure how to fix it so I am using this as a work around。

I tried reading this book for a Bible study with my girls friends and it wasn't for us。 We LOVED Calm my Anxious Heart but we agreed we'd need more life experience for this book。 Saving it for years from now to try again。 I tried reading this book for a Bible study with my girls friends and it wasn't for us。 We LOVED Calm my Anxious Heart but we agreed we'd need more life experience for this book。 Saving it for years from now to try again。 。。。more

One of the best books I have ever read about worship and the intimacy of surrender。 Definitely will re-read so I can hopefully absorb more！

I will read/digest this more later。 I cannot stop thinking about all the wisdom and truth here， and want to go back through the study as well。 This is a lifestyle book！

Did this as a bible study with a friend。 It opened up a whole new world of worship that I never knew before。 Practical， insightful and worth the time。

This book。 This book。 It is amazing。 It turned me into a Linda Dillow fan。 For all of you women who enjoy Bible Study/self help books， this is extremely thought provoking - at times not what you want to be asked， but what you need to answer。 So great。 This book is about finding your fulfillment in God。 I read it at a time when I desperately needed to check where my head was。 Linda Dillow is so insightful。 Her words are strengthening but tender。 I still pick up this book now and then when I need This book。 This book。 It is amazing。 It turned me into a Linda Dillow fan。 For all of you women who enjoy Bible Study/self help books， this is extremely thought provoking - at times not what you want to be asked， but what you need to answer。 So great。 This book is about finding your fulfillment in God。 I read it at a time when I desperately needed to check where my head was。 Linda Dillow is so insightful。 Her words are strengthening but tender。 I still pick up this book now and then when I need a check。 。。。more

A beautiful book on worship， soul-stirring and biblical。 Worship is so much more than just singing a few songs on Sunday morning， it is a lifestyle of bowing our words， circumstances， hopes and dreams， and very life to the Almighty。 Life-changing， one I will return to again and again。

If you are looking to meet God on a more intimate level， this is an incredible read to help you get there。 Worship is more than just the thing we do at church once a week。 It is a life position。 I can honestly say that this devotional taught me how to worship。 Reading this book and doing the bible study completely deepened my understanding of how God wants to relate to us。

Slow beginning， but so practical， and inspiring。 Too many little stories， although they were helpful。 She draws from a wealth of personal experiences， quotes， lives of others as well as scripture。 She tended to give too many personal examples which made her sound super spiritual （but not prideful）。 I would have liked to have read more connections with Christ and the gospel at the end of the chapters because the desire to grow in worship is directly tied to how deeply one applies the good news in Slow beginning， but so practical， and inspiring。 Too many little stories， although they were helpful。 She draws from a wealth of personal experiences， quotes， lives of others as well as scripture。 She tended to give too many personal examples which made her sound super spiritual （but not prideful）。 I would have liked to have read more connections with Christ and the gospel at the end of the chapters because the desire to grow in worship is directly tied to how deeply one applies the good news in our hearts。 If Christ isnt at the center， then there is a danger for self-righteousness to creep in。 I loved her sincerity， vulnerability and passion for God。 。。。more

Very good， spiritually inlightening。 Very hard concepts that leave you feeling both focused and depressed。 Concepts you want to tackle but are sadly lacking。 Christian Self Help。

My Sunday school class read this book。 It is good book， but I think that it is very hard to do the things it says。
