Commune with Me

Commune with Me is like a piece of fine art hung in a hidden corner of a gallery. Few people may take the time to step away from the city noise and hustle in order to enter in and see it, but, unlike them, I stepped inside–and I am so glad I did! Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to stop striving and start listening. Honestly, I did not realize how desperate for beauty my soul had become. Emily Wierenga writes with a poetic edge. Imagery abounds. Through this book, she has brought godly beauty back into this world and given us a sense of how we can enter more deeply into life with Jesus.

Emily Wierenga has the soul of a poet, the pen of an artist, and a heart for the Lord. Oh, how I wish I could write with the same beauty and depth! I embraced every word in Commune with Me: An Invitation to Feast with Jesus like a dying woman aches for just one more breath of air. Emily’s book has the richness of a classic devotional such as Streams in the Desert or My Utmost for His Highest. This devotional calls the reader to love Jesus more and to know Him in His fullness and wonder. Thank you, Emily. I am honored to co-labor with you for the cause of Christ.

Emily Wierenga writes from her gut–that place deep inside where heart and belly comingle and co-labor. Commune with Me is a poetic invitation to bring our own hungry hearts and insatiable appetites to the metaphorical table of fellowship. With each daily devotion, we are encouraged to feast with Christ, to feast on Christ, and to live a life both hungry for more and yet fully satisfied by Him.

Gentle but provocative, Commune with Me is deeply hospitable. It opens the door to conversation and communion, setting a table that gives readers space to stop, think, and ponder the goodness of God.

This devotional cuts through the clutter of our daily lives to reveal the beloved heart of Jesus. Its evocative liturgical structure shimmers with honesty and Holy-Spirit-swept beauty. With breathtaking writing, Wierenga brings the earnest offering of our brokenness to the table of Jesus Christ. She gently reminds us that it was He who was utterly broken so that we might be fully healed and given life abundant and eternal. Be transformed by Christ’s enduring love for us through these pages. Wierenga joins our hands with hers in accepting Jesus’s invitation to sup with Him and, in doing so, to know that His grace, indeed, is sufficient.

Commune with Me is a beautifully written invitation to sit with Jesus, to receive His love, and to be changed by it. Emily Wierenga’s vulnerability, storytelling, and theological insight create a devotional that feels like daily nourishment for weary hearts. Her journey from brokenness to becoming a source of nourishment for others reminds us that God still works in restorative ways–both around us and within us. Get a copy for yourself and gift one to someone you love.
