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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBagents 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Bagents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1732048312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732048317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cypress Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Bill Bagents","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130635350271,"sku":"9781732048317","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2da68f6f-c8c1-4f83-9b40-668ca3a0766a.jpg?v=1687470459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/always-near-bill-bagents-9781732048317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
