Most Christians could tell you a lot about God. We're familiar with His attributes, His character, His actions, and so on. But do we really know God? Are we comfortable just "wasting" time in His presence?
Enjoying the Presence of God offers simple, tangible insights into practicing God's presence and makes them relevant to ordinary people as they play sports, dig in the garden, or rock a baby. It shows that continual awareness of God is not just for the "super-spiritual," but that anyone can sense His companionship in the mundane, in-between moments of life.
If you're tired of feeling like spending time with God is a chore or performance, Enjoying the Presence of God will give you the opportunity to surrender to His presence and enjoy just being with Him.
"Jan Johnson has expressed so simply and clearly from her own authentic experience how to develop consistent intimacy with God. My relationship with God has been confirmed and renewed. If you're looking for a closer relationship with the Lord, this is a life-changing discovery!"-Archibald Hart, professor of psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary; and Kathleen Hart, chaplain to student wives at Fuller Theological Seminary
"Jan Johnson's content is so seductively simple that readers will be tempted to say, 'Is that what it means to practice the presence of God? I can do that!' And doing it, they will be profoundly changed."-Terry Madison, director of publications, World Vision, and editor of World Vision magazine TABLE OF CONTENTS: Chapter 1: Trying Too Hard Chapter 2: Practicing the Presence of God
