Wild at Heart John Elderedge

"The only way to live in this adventure-with all its danger and unpredictability and immensely high stakes-is an ongoing, intimate relationship with God. The control we so desperately crave is an illusion. Far better to give it up in exchange for God's offer of companionship, set aside stale formulas so that we might enter into an informal relatiohship...David-a man after God's own heart-also walked and warred and loved his way through life in a conversational intimacy with God."
