Book Review - Present Perfect by Gregory Boyd

I received a copy of this book at no charge from the publisher for the purpose of review.

Present Perfect was exactly what it said it would be. I really enjoyed this read. The author explores the discipline of being in the presence of God all the time. He refers to this with a question, "Are you awake?" In our every day in and out duties it is possible for us to be very aware of God's presence within and around us. We just need to stay in tune with Him.

Boyd, looks at three classic authors of old. One of my favorites, Brother Lawerence, Frank Laubach and J. - P. Caussade. I have never read anything of the last two but am now interested. I found it very interesting that Boyd brought us a book examining how we can practice being in the presence of God today. He gives some practical examples and exercises in how to remind ourselves to do this. God is ever present. He never leaves us. We just need to be aware that He is always there. It is a good read and I recommend it.
