Encounter God and Engage: The Dynamic Connection Between Knowing and Being

What sustains an encounter with God?

Many Christians strive to experience powerful moments with God, as if even one would give them more value as a Christian, but the Christian life was never meant to be built on encounters alone. Every moment spent in God's presence is an invitation --- one that leads us into victory, obedience, and a deeper relationship with our Savior.

Similar in subject matter to books by John Mark Comer and David Platt, in Encounter God and Engage, Richard O'Riley shows how to pivot from simply knowing about God to being known by Him. Blending biblical insight, real stories, current events, and decades of ministry experience, he reveals how true spiritual growth happens.

If you've sought "big moments" with God and wondered how to make your everyday life more God filled, this book will help you:

• Hear God's voice more clearly
• Live as both a passionate co-laborer with Jesus and a courageous warrior for His kingdom
• Partner with God in faith to make a lasting impact
• Grow into being part of the mature, radiant bride of Christ

Encounter God and Engage invites you to shift from being a longing spectator to an ambassador, letting your life be a living testimony of God's power at work in you.
