Draw Near: The Heart of Communion with God

What comes into your mind when you hear the phrase "communion with God"? Sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, arms outstretched, humming? Losing yourself in emotional ecstasy? Being ushered into another dimension? Centering rituals? Emptying your mind and hearing audible voices from God? Through a series of meditations on several biblical passages, Scott Aniol demonstrates that communion with God is not mystical or mysterious--rather, communion with God is rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ, clearly communicated throughout the Scriptures, and absolutely vital for a fruitful Christian life that brings God ultimate glory.

Scott Aniol is Associate Professor of Church Music and Worship and chair of PhD Worship Studies at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. He is the author of Worship in Song: A Biblical Approach to Music and Worship (2009) and By the Waters of Babylon: Worship in a Post-Christian Culture (2015).
