I have written this book to serve as both instructional and meditational with respect to growing closer to God - this is why each of the twenty-six chapters is short in length. In many respects, this is a workbook that will guide you towards a closer walk with God. It will consider topics such as, who I am in Christ, how to exercise spiritual authority, being adopted by God, how to receive a revelation, dealing with spiritual warfare, drawing closer to God, praying in the Spirit - and many more related topics. You might want to read one short chapter each evening before you retire, so that you might give yourself the opportunity to meditate on what God might be speaking to you about concerning each of the topics in the book.

It's been said that Centering Prayer is like two friends sitting together in silence, just being in each other's presence—completely natural and comfortable. Yet, Centering Prayer is sometimes viewed as too mysterious, too escapist, too hard. At first, it even appeared that way to the author, but events in his life and his further studies about prayer changed his views. Through Muyskens' insightful guidance, you'll explore a method of prayer that goes deeper than verbal conversations with God. This book teaches: silent communion with God a method of being open to the gift of God's presence a way of receiving a deep ad intimate relationship with God Each day's reading has a focal scripture verse and the author's reflection, ending with simple suggestions for contemplative prayer. You'll begin with as few as 5 minutes of Centering Prayer. By following the guidance in this book for 40 days, you will be led to a closer relationship with God. As you progress through the daily scripture and meditative readings in Forty Days to a Closer Walk with God, you'll find greater understanding and fresh awareness of Jesus' promise, "I am with you always."

The connection between nature and God has been an important one throughout our history. Through his parables, Jesus used nature to teach us many important lessons about how to live with and honor our fellow man. Now, Closer to Nature, Closer to God presents a fully illustrated exploration of the connections among God, humans, and nature. Author and artist Claire-Elise Dimanche offers this book as a source of inspiration for people of all ages and as a reminder that Mother Nature takes care of us. An accomplished painter, Dimanche has included images of her paintings to illustrate her written pieces. She seeks to capture the beauty of her surroundings and show it to the world, and she firmly believes that we need to stop, breathe, and take the time to appreciate our surroundings. Her writings cover such varied topics as love, fear and faith, and God's love and understanding for us. She hopes to inspire us in our search for happiness, peace, success, and love. Closer to Nature, Closer to God opens a portal to the wondrous world of God's love and the loving connection that we have with him through nature and our relationships with others.

Disciples of Jesus are those who hear His words and put them into practice. They are like the wise man who built his house on the rock and when the storms of life raged against him, his house did not fall. There is no firmer or surer foundation for life than the Rock of Ages, and those who diligently study the words of the Master and do what He says build lives of eternal significance. WORDS OF JESUS FOR DAILY LIVING by Jan de Wet helps the diligent student of the Word to consider and meditate on the words that Jesus spoke, and to find practical ways to apply them to everyday life in the twenty-first century. Christians who desire to become more like Christ will find this devotional inspiring and motivating in their daily walk with God. As readers hear and obey the words of Christ, His presence will flow more powerfully through them, and they will be drawn into a deeper understanding of what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus.
