Summary

What are you waiting for?

Intimacy with God can happen right now if you want it. A closeness you can feel, a goodness you can taste, a reality you can experience for yourself. That's what the Bible promises, so why settle for less? God is closer than you think, and connecting with him isn't just for monks and ascetics. It's for business people, high-school students, busy moms, single men, single women...and most important, it's for you.

God Is Closer Than You Think shows how you can enjoy a vibrant, moment-by-moment relationship with your heavenly father. Best-selling author John Ortberg reveals the face of God waiting to be discovered in the complex mosaic of your life. He shows you God's hand stretching toward you. And, with his gift for storytelling, Ortberg illustrates the ways you can reach toward God and complete the connection - to your joy and his.

Critic reviews

"Those looking for an approachable, quick read on a difficult subject will appreciate this guide, which alludes to the mysteries of God's intimacy with Christians, but doesn't get bogged down in too many details." ( Publishers Weekly)

Real and down to earth

Really enjoyed listening to this book as it gave several ways to view God's presence in your life. A great reminder of everywhere and I loved that John Ortberg gave humorous anecdotes from his own life experiences. I will probably listen to this again in future and possibly even purchase the hardcopy.
