A Heart That Dances: Satisfy Your Desire for Intimacy with God (Quiet Times for the Heart)

I have given this book to both of my daughters and the effect it had on them merits more than 5 stars. The author, Catherine Martin writes in a style that truly reaches the heart and uses the most wonderful additional material from writers such as A.W.Tozer, Wesley, Hudson Taylor, David Livingston, Amy Carmichael, and many, many more to drive home the messages that will help you understand God through their eyes. I was skeptical at first that what I would find was a light or weak contemporary devotional wanna be. NOT! I have never seen a devotional book help someone develop a passion for God as this book has in my home. My youngest daughter (14) chose to repeat this book to glean more from it before starting another book by Martin. She told me that she has learned to pray more effectively because of its acrostic. She also made it a practice (for months now) that she would do nothing before she has spent time in her Bible, prayer, and this book each day. I credit this book and Catherine Martin's God-sent and Spirit-filled ministry, "Quiet Time Ministries". Thank you, Catherine Martin! You have made our hearts dance because of all that we have learned about our Precious God and Savior!

A Heart That Dances: Satisfy Your Desire for Intimacy With God more than delivers. Sometimes, when life seems more than usually tough, what we need is to take a quiet break and reevaluate what is important in our lives. Catherine Martin provided just the impetus I needed to change some things that needed changing, and to begin dancing ever closer to God! Thought-provoking, with excellent "assignments" to prompt deeper thinking and additional growth are included. I am so happy that Monvee recommended it, that Amazon.com sells it, and that I benefitted by it! A heartfelt "thanks" to all!

is a great book. Each week takes you deeper into the life of a character in the Bible, and helps you learn things about that character which are directly applicable to your own life. The book has also helped me deepen and regulate my quiet times, so that I spend meaningful time with the Lord each day. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a way to grow closer to God.

Catherine Martin is one of my favorite teachers of the Word of God, check out her Quiet Time Ministries online. I've done the majority of her studies and enjoyed them all...

This is our first time to use a Catherine Martin book in our women's adult Bible fellowship study on Sunday mornings. While the book is daunting in its appearance (it looks like so much to do on any given day), it has great readings and quotes from classic sources that makes the work go quickly. Amazon was incredible in its price and delivery. We are very pleased with the service.

This is a fantastic book. I have worked through it once, and now, a year later, am going through it again. It is designed to be an 8 week devotional. I have taken it more slowly. the content is well done, and deep. I love the combination of scripture, (the focus,) and related quotes from well known writings and music. I highly recommend this book.

Purchased this book to read and study as part of a group bible study. It started out a bit slow for me. I was having difficulty relating. As I am moving through the book and discussing with others I am finding inspiration and beginning to develop a closer more intimate relationship with God. I would not recommend this as an independent study. Much as been learned from the discussion within the group.

Such a great book.

Love this thank you
