From the Back Cover



Does God listen when I talk to him? Does he actually care about what I'm feeling?

We have many good reasons not to believe that God will hear us when we pray. But this God-who-seems-far is closer than we realize. And he wants us to draw near with raw, honest questions and emotions.

The ancient pathway of the Psalms can show us how to come to God with our fears, failures, doubts, and wounds and find how much he cares. The psalmists give voice to every human experience--cries of lament, whispers of fear, and shouts of praise--and God responds. These raw prayers reveal what an intimate relationship with God looks and sounds like. They provide a clear path for us to move toward joy.

In Nearing a Far God, master teacher Leslie Leyland Fields will lead you in exploring seven different forms of the Psalms--lament, wisdom, trust, confession, creation, thanksgiving, and praise. At the end of each chapter, you'll practice transformative writing and prayer exercises to engage your whole brain and body. As you begin to see the Psalms with fresh eyes and discover how to speak the language of authentic relationship, you'll learn how to come before God in your best and worst moments, find your truest voice, and encounter the intimate God who responds.

To enrich your journey, use this book to encounter God in honest prayer with a friend or in a group!
