Synopsis

Have you settled for far less of God than He wants to reveal? Do you feel close to God in your everyday life . . . or does He too often seem distant and silent? Maybe, like many Christians, you live somewhere between those two extremes. You occasionally sense God’s presence, but at other times feel as if He’s a million miles away.

The wonder of closeness with God is available to you here and now. In The Presence, Alec Rowlands reveals the ways God makes His presence known, how you can prepare for it, and how experiencing it will transform everything. As you draw near to God―as you are consumed by His love and your life is rearranged by His grace―you’ll find fulfillment, purpose, and an unmatched sense of adventure. If you’re feeling a hunger for more of God, you are already on your way to discovering: He is good. He is powerful. He is here.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Do you long for an experience with God that will change your life?
On a dark night in a small South African church, Alec Rowlands encountered God in a staggering, powerful, and unmistakable way. Though he was only eleven years old at the time, he knew that nothing would ever be the same.

Yet as Alec’s journey continued―he grew up, moved to America, and became a pastor―he began to wonder why his spiritual life hadn’t kept pace with his boyhood experience. Why did he so often feel God’s absence more than his presence? Where was the passion he had once felt?

Compelled by his questions, Alec began to study historic revivals and transforming movements of God. What he discovered altered his perspective forever.

In The Presence, Alec shares what he has learned about the God who invites us into an encounter that C. S. Lewis likened to meeting an untamed lion. Whose very presence overwhelms our senses and transforms our lives. Who draws near and changes everything, including the way we think about God.

Open these pages and savor The Presence. As you read, you’ll realize anew that God is good. He is powerful. He is here.
