Hope, Healing & Restoration in GOD'S PRESENCE. 40 Days of Intimate Encounters with God This most encouraging and inspirational book is designed specifically to lead people everywhere down the path towards being a person after God's own heart. It is by securing and strengthening a more intimate relationship with Jesus that we discover the answers to our deepest yearnings and desires. This book will help others to achieve that intimacy. As a bible teacher, Christian minister and skilled writer, the author draws from his own experiences throughout his 40 year walk with God. He leads toward the abundance of life Jesus talked about. After Bible College, he continued in several additional bible training programs and also completed an intensive mentoring program for ministers. But none of his schooling has taught him nearly as much as God has. "I had to learn how to grow in my relationship with the Lord. It was a bit like on-the-job training. And many mistakes were made, yet that too is a part of the sanctification process. God is a master at educating us. Only He knows all the particulars of our individual idiosyncrasies, and He knows precisely how to help us understand what we need to learn. That is why it is so crucial to draw close to Him. He will help us overcome every obstacle and all difficulties that are in our lives right now. When we draw close to God, God draws close to us." The writer opens his heart to escort us through devotional thoughts, transparently sharing his own human weaknesses, while engaging the reader to trust Jesus and honestly open their hearts Him. In hope that each will receive their own character make-over, designed by the Master.
