Encounter

Experiencing the Divine Presence: Second Edition

Book Details

“Were not our hearts burning with us?” (Luke 24:32)

God desires a dignified, abundant life for each of us. The way to this life is through a personal relationship with him. Faith is first-and-foremost relational. It is not just an intellectual pursuit—knowing something about God—it is tangibly experiencing God, having hearts afire with love for Jesus Christ. Nothing will fill a weary soul or dispel darkness, confusion, and gloom like fervent Christian zeal. In this work, we focus on encounter, the spiritual or relational element of faith, to consider how God is near, active in his creation, and readily available to us. The offer is always there; we simply need to accept it.

We are at an inflection point. With secular society rapidly drifting away from God, many people are left empty, weary, tired, and searching. It is time to evangelize with the urgency of the early missionaries who zealously spanned the globe to deliver the Christian message to the remotest corners. Today, these “remote corners” are much closer to home.

Now, more than ever, it is time to return to the Lord, to reignite the fire within, to experience God who is always near, and reclaim the dignified life he intended for us.
