Always Near: Listening for Lessons from God

By Bill Bagents

Book Overview

Always Near shares one self-confessed odd Christian's ongoing efforts to hear and honor God in the events of daily life. Bagents offers devotional reflections that process events and observations through the wisdom of Scripture. This collection invites the reader to join the adventure of listening for subtle spiritual messages that both bless and challenge. It promotes contemplation and spiritual formation. Occasionally, the book even finds a bit of humor.

Bagents writes from a decidedly Christian perspective and treats the Bible with respect. These devotionals flow from the conviction that God is all-wise and all-loving, and the better we hear Him, the better we'll live.

God is presented as the most persistent teacher, who has more ways of gaining our attention than we have of ignoring Him. God is more skilled at reaching out than we are at resisting. He is better at teaching than we are at being dense. Even when we're seeking Him, God can surprise us with precious lessons that we never saw coming. Always Near is an appeal to improve how we hear God and to draw ever closer to His heart.
