Encountering God: 10 Ways to Experience His Presence

An encounter with God. It's what we were created for and, whether we realize it or not, what we all pursue. However curious we may be about it, though, many believe it's an arcane experience available only to the spiritual elite. David M. Edwards, an acclaimed worship leader, author, and speaker, shares his insights into encountering God in a way that's refreshingly direct, approachable, and biblically grounded. Through personal experience as well as the examples of Moses, Paul and Silas, David, Mary of Bethany, Abraham, and others, Edwards gives a new dimension to their stories that will help readers see it is indeed possible to encounter God in their daily lives.
