Description
Book Synopsis
Are you longing for something more in your relationship with God? If so, you're not alone. For years, author and pastor Alan Kraft felt God was distant and impersonal. The typical answers of "pray more" or "read your Bible more" didn't help. In his search for deepening intimacy, he discovered what was missing: a tangible experience of God's delight.
In The Intimate God, the author shares from his own journey five simple practices that can increase your experience of God's delight, resulting in a deeper connection with Jesus. This seven-week journey provides inspiration, instruction, and actionable steps to help you:
- Experience God's love more deeply
- Hear His gentle whisper
- Quiet your soul in the midst of the chaos around you
- Practice resting in Jesus' presence
