Move from a transactional experience with God to a transformational friendship with Him through prayer.

How can time with God be a source of peace in a loud and distracting world? In Beholding, spiritual director and poet Strahan Coleman invites listeners to discover the joy of being with God, not just working for Him. As they inhabit the art of resting in God’s presence, prayer becomes not only a place of seeking, but becoming.

Beholding calls Christians to understand how:

  • Prayer is so much more than spoken conversation between us and God; it’s a way of existing together.
  • Beholding God in prayer is profoundly connected to beholding and dignifying others.
  • Embracing prayer practices from different Christian traditions digs a deep well of peace in the soul.
  • Our everyday ordinary lives can become the meeting place for God through silence, solitude, community, creation, and hospitality.

Very grateful for the audio version of this book from one of my favorite teachers. This book comes a long at a time where the Lord is teaching me some similar things and it was very encouraging! thank you Strahan!!

Timely

A beautiful invitation to deepening our union and relationship with God via a mind, body and soul that seeks to BEHOLD God and to find oneself, beheld by Him. We’re each invited.

Stirring for your soul

Strahan allows his pain to be used for Good. I’m so inspired by the simple ways we can use our bodies to pray; that note combines from the end of the book but is a huge takeaway.

Similar to Thirsting, but the original

I enjoyed every bit of this story and this encouragement. I’m left with a deeper longing to know God in so many of these ways and, truly, without a whole lot of shame. Which is new for a book on prayer, for me. :) thanks!

What a gift.

This book really impacted my life. I felt convicted by the first chapter. Strahan has an amazing backstory of how he moved into a deeper friendship with God and with his encouragement, I hope I can also begin to enjoy God simply for who He is, and not what I want from Him. I recommend reading this one before his other book Thirsting, I did it the opposite way!

I love this authors heart. if you are interested in spiritual formation, which I understand to be tending the gap between what I know about God and what I experience in my reality with God, then this is a great book for you. There is also a podcast prayer companion to go with it that os awesome.

Good not only for information

I knew if John Mark Comer did the foreword, I would want to read it! I was right, but this book was so great and gentle. I have been not happy with some of the Christian authors I was reading lately, and this author is a breath of fresh air. I did not feel guilty or feel like there is no way I can get this right. This book was so relationship based I really felt better after reading it instead of judgy and guilty with some of the books I was branching out to try. Very happy I took a chance on this book, and it delivered.
I highly recommend to anyone as it is so different from many out there right now.

Great book and very different from the rest

Beautifully written. It is more then just informative it felt like it stirred up deeper desire to be with God while giving practical practices to grow in beholding God. Loved it and have already recommended it to many.

Worth a Read/listen and then a Reread.
