Longing For God: Seven Paths Of Christian Devotion

Think of the moment you last experienced God.

Truly experiencing the love of God gives us a taste of God's deep goodness, but often those moments are fleeting. We get distracted by life. Our awareness and understanding fade while our longing to experience God that way again increases. In these pages we can begin to fill that longing by developing our capacity to receive and respond to God's love.

Here the authors, both experienced leaders in spiritual formation, introduce us to people from the past who have known God deeply. Each person points the way to one of the seven primary paths to intimacy with God that have been developed throughout Christian history. The chapters are divided into sections, each segment surrounding a key figure and concluding with a reflection and prayer.

This rich resource can guide you into the same deep intimacy with God, opening you to the Spirit's work of transformation.
