Knowing God, Knowing Myself by Cecil Murphey

Guest Post today is by Jeanette Levellie, a spunky, sometimes-reluctant pastor's wife who writes columns, articles, books, and notes to herself so she won't forget her name. Find her mirthful musings at www.jeanettelevellie.com.

Book full title: Knowing God, Knowing Myself: An Invitation to Daily Discovery, Regal Books.

How refreshing to find a Christian leader not ashamed to admit they stumble and fall. Reading about Mr. Murphey's journey to wholeness makes us love and trust him. He is one of us, right beside us on the path, not pompously marching ahead, shouting, "See how I do it and follow me!"

But he doesn't only share his struggles. He invites us to know God better. The One who is faithful and merciful through all our failures can also be trusted with our lives.

This book is changing the way I view myself and my Heavenly Father. I recommend it to every Christian, and everyone seeking to know the one true God--as He really is, not how you might have been told He is.

My favorite line: "Loving God, show me the truth about myself, no matter how wonderful it may be."
