"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty," (Psalm 91:1). Those individuals who have chosen to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior need the opportunity to learn the path to salvation. It is their privilege to know the many blessed ways to seek him. In my scriptural based writing, A Secret Place in God, individuals will be guided on their journey. In the book, examples are taken from the Bible, and lessons can be learned based upon experiences posed by men and women in God's word. My personal testimony is also shared in this piece. Individuals of all ages will learn that they are not alone; and there comes a time that they must make the decision to choose Christ over their own thoughts and feelings; and know that he has a better path of life for them. In addition, in A Secret Place in God, after having walked with God in the beauty of holiness for over forty years, I have shared many attributes of my knowledge of God as a healer, a comforter, a guide in every situation of which we are confronted, and most of all, as a savior. Also included are self-created lessons that can be shared with other teachers of God's word. My main purpose for writing this book is to make individuals aware that they can have their own personal walk with God; and that they can count on him to acknowledge and answer their most personal requests in life.

Woody Money was doing the Lord's work. He was deeply involved with five different ministries. He took part in three Bible study groups and was a passionate street evangelist, but something was missing. His marriage was in trouble and teetering on the edge of divorce. He was serving the Lord, but not engaged with Him. God saved Woody's marriage-and Woody himself-with a simple but powerful dream. With love and grace, Woody was reminded that to be Christian is to be the bride of Christ, not a housemaid. To be a maid is to work for the Lord. To be a bride is to work with the Lord, a much more intimate and infinitely more rewarding relationship. Told with humor, openness, and an overwhelming sense of God's love, The Secret Place is an inspiring memoir of one man's journey to divine intimacy. From his teenage battle with pornography and sexual addiction to his revitalized role as a true bride of Christ, Woody offers hope, joy, and the promise of peace. Woody found his secret place in the Lord-a deeply freeing satisfying intimacy. You too can make your own journey to intimacy with God and find the secret place.

Do you struggle with intimacy with God? How do we get to know God? Once we get to know Him personally, how do we develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him? The struggle of finding and enjoying increasing intimacy with God is real. From birth, each person inherits a God-shaped vacuum only He can fill. Once a personal relationship with Him is established, every child of God faces two deep desires: a longing for deeper intimacy with Him or the desire for freedom from whatever prevents it. But no one is immune from the struggle of finding and maintaining intimacy with God. Does God truly want intimacy with me or does He only get close to certain people? As the Almighty, Sovereign God, why would He want to have anything to do with insignificant me? Is intimacy with God even attainable? I've tried several times, yet nothing seems to work-nothing changes. How can we resist God's compelling love and desire for intimacy with us? What else are we waiting for before yielding and running into His embrace? What prevents us from starting and nurturing intimate time in His presence? God's Secret Place answers such questions with insights from Scripture and through dissecting human relationships. It also inspires the pursuit of nearness with God, identifies four levels of closeness with Him, and reveals the characteristics of those who find and cherish such intimacy. Stevens encourages readers to run to God's secret place-to commit themselves to the pursuit of intimacy with Him. Then, to remain there. We find rest in His presence by presenting ourselves before Him, quieting ourselves from distractions, hearing His whisper, and sensing His heart. He awaits us there.
