Do you yearn to grow closer to God?

Rhythms of Our Lives: Approaching God in Prayer

This book is available on Amazon.com and other booksellers.

ABOUT PRAYER LIFE. Do you have a deep and fulfilling relationship with your God? Or, is something missing in your spiritual life? Are you yearning to grow closer to God and grow into your life in Christ? I believe these yearnings are God's way of creating a spiritual vacuum in our hearts, a vacuum ready to be filled with God. God wants a loving relationship with you. The surest way to build that relationship is a dialogue, you speaking and listening, God speaking and listening. By developing and practicing your prayer life, God will speak to you and hear you in ways you can't imagine. This book will help you to use the natural ebbs and flows of your life to enter into transcendent conversation with God. It easily fits into your daily life, its presence a gentle reminder of God's calling. Open it with joy, engage it with devotion and "praise God from whom all blessings fall."
