Friendship with God

A Path to Deeper Fellowship with the Father, Son, and Spirit

By: Mike McKinley

Narrated by: Mike McKinley

Based on John Owen's Classic Text

Communion with God, This Helpful Resource Answers the Question, "What Does It Mean to Be Friends with Jesus?"

In John 15, Jesus says, "I have called you friends."

But what does it mean to be friends with Jesus? In the early 1650s, theologian John Owen attempted to answer this question through a series of sermons, eventually compiled as

Communion with God. The book is full of truths about having fellowship with God, but Owen's work is often a struggle for modern readers/listeners to understand.

In

Friendship with God, pastor Mike McKinley takes a key idea or insight from

Communion with God and clarifies it for listeners in each chapter, giving them practical guidance for how to develop fellowship with God—such as obeying the Father's commands, acknowledgment of sin, and prayer. Perfect for new Christians or for those without a church background, this accessible resource offers an introduction to the God who "wants you to know him and be known by him."

• Accessible: Written for a broad contemporary audience, perfect for new Christians or for those without a church background
• Based on John Owen's Classic Text Communion with God: Takes Owen's work and explains the key themes to a modern audience
