Description
About the Book
Spiritual director uses neuroscience, attachment theory, and spiritual practices to lead you on a pathway from anxious spirituality to resting in a love that is already yours.Book Synopsis
God's face is always shining toward usOur God is not asleep, nor indifferent. But we don't always experience His nearness or the depth of how beloved we truly are--especially if we have experienced neglect, abandonment, or emotional distance in our formative human relationships.
Drawing from the deep well of Scripture, attachment theory, and her own personal story, Summer Joy Gross invites you to experience Emmanuel, God-with-us, as the One whose love toward you is secure and unchanging. She teaches you how to
● use simple, repeatable practices to awaken to God's nearness and remain awake to his presence
● learn from those who have walked before us, studying biblical teachings and ancient church traditions
● orient your life to the promise of Emmanuel, the living Christ, walking beside you
● build a secure attachment with the God who holds you in a sure hand
When you are rooted in God's nearness in the ordinary moments, you can rest in God in the midst of life's storms.

God's face is always shining toward us. Our God is not asleep, nor indifferent. But we don't always experience His nearness or the depth of how beloved we truly are--especially if we have experienced neglect, abandonment, or emotional distance in our formative human relationships.

She teaches you simple, repeatable practices grounded in biblical teaching and our rich and ancient church traditions that will equip you day-by-day to build a secure attachment with the God who holds you in a sure hand.
Because when you are rooted in God's nearness in the ordinary moments, you can rest in God in the midst of life's storms.
