Come Closer: Deepening Your Relationship with God Through Personal Reflection

We all know a good relationship is built on good communication. So it makes sense that talking with God is a great way to deepen your spiritual relationship. But how do you have a conversation with God? How do you even know when he's speaking to you?

Come Closer, the latest devotional guide by Tammy Koenecke, RN, BSN, MASL, invites you to listen in on her personal exchanges with God and then encourages you to begin your own dialogue by reflecting on questions, such as:

• In what ways does God direct my daily life?
• How can I be better prepared for the storms in life?
• How will using the lens of my heart open me to the experiences of others?
• How does God want me to be his voice to others?

A great companion to Koenecke's first book, Opening to God's Messages, this new guide offers hopeful messages of God's love, along with spiritual-growth activities tied to the seasons of the year and a collection of inspirational chants that can inform your praises and prayers, with encouraging lyrics, such as:

"Deep beneath the earth lies a seed awaiting new growth / Deep within my heart lies a seed awaiting new growth."
