What to expect
Within each of us is a longing to tangibly experience the presence of God. We want to "Come and see what the Lord has done" and "Be still and know" our God. Far too often, though, that longing is swallowed up in the dings of technology, the demands of our schedules, and the duties of our faith. As a people, we are exhausted. Despite all our sermons and service and self-awareness, we can't seem to work our way to rest with God.
This book explores how the ancient practices of spiritual direction and contemplative prayer help us draw near to God in a loud, distracting world. Each chapter tells a story of what spiritual director and poet Laura Kauffman has discovered in her own practice and includes a practical exercise you can try privately or with your community.
If you long to be aware of the nearness of God, to rest in his presence, and to be equipped to listen to him, this book is your guide toward an ever-deepening intimacy with God.
