The Nearness of God: Rediscovering God's Love and Longing

By Breige O'Hare

Written in a clear and down-to-earth fashion, The Nearness of God brings scripture to life, weaving together experiences from life, scripture and community worship to help the reader to get to know God and to recognise his presence and action in daily life. It provides useful suggestions for ways of being with God and also gives reassurance for those who experience God as distant or absent. The book is an ideal companion both for those who feel they are starting to discover relationship with God, and those who have been experiencing the ups-and-downs of their relationship for some time.

This is a reprint of the original print version of Nearness, published in 2011 by Shanway Press, Nearness sold out quickly, proving to be a great help to those gathered around kitchen tables and in parishes who wanted to grow in relationship with God. This new edition has been made available through Amazon from June 2025.

Breige has learned much from her experience since 2011, and plans to release new online and written material in Autumn 2026. Nearness continues to offer deeply personal and practical ways of meeting God in the ordinary circumstances of daily life.
