Publisher Marketing: Are you experiencing God at the level you should be? For many Christians, the daily grind of life dulls the passion for Christ we once had when we were new believers. Without passion, our spiritual journeys tend to stall out and we don't experience the deeper, more meaningful connection and presence of God in our lives. In Befriending God: The 7 Essential Truths for Divine Intimacy, author Patrick Grattan breaks down the Christian experience of sanctification into seven truths essential for developing a deep and meaningful relationship with God. Each stage is described from being created in God's image, to a child of God, a servant of God, and ultimately, friend of God. No matter where you are with your faith today, you can discover how to experience God at a deeper level. In this book, you will discover: The assurance that comes with being "set apart" in love and purpose The blessings we experience when we "belong" to God through obedience The joy of reflecting His holy light The peace that comes with walking with God in trust The key to a fulfilling life of meaning Great as a stand-alone guide for your personal spiritual journey or study together with a small group, the discussion questions at the end of each chapter are sure to challenge and promote greater levels of faith through understanding. God is our source of strength, wisdom, security, and happiness, but only after we have moved beyond a lukewarm faith. Let's pursue Him together! James 4:8 "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."
