Drawing Near: A 30-Day Journey Into the Presence of God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798235546936)

What do you do when you believe in God-but no longer feel close to him?

Drawing Near is a 30-day devotional journey for Christians who feel spiritually dry, tired, uncertain, or distant from God. Written for those who still believe, once believed, or simply want to begin again, this study offers a gentle path back toward prayer, Scripture, trust, and the presence of God.

Each day includes a short core reading, key Bible passages, reflections drawn from Christian thinkers across history, a practical spiritual exercise, and optional opportunities for deeper reading and journaling. The journey moves through four stages-Awakening, Encounter, Deepening, and Union-helping readers grow from honest questions and spiritual weariness toward a renewed life with God.

Along the way, Drawing Near explores prayer, Scripture, gratitude, forgiveness, doubt, the Cross, the Resurrection, the Holy Spirit, love of neighbor, surrender, and what it means to abide in Christ. Its approach is rooted in the Bible while drawing wisdom from Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and ecumenical voices.

This is not a book for people who have everything figured out. It is for those who are still walking, still questioning, still hoping, and still willing to turn toward God.

You do not have to feel strong. You do not have to pray perfectly. You only have to begin.

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." - James 4:8
