From birth, each person inherits a God-shaped vacuum only He can fill. Once a personal relationship with Him is established, every child of God faces two deep desires: a longing for deeper intimacy with Him or the desire for freedom from whatever prevents it. But no one is immune from the struggle of finding and maintaining intimacy with God.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eDoes God truly want intimacy with me or does He only get close to certain people?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eAs the Almighty, Sovereign God, why would He want to have anything to do with insignificant me?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eIs intimacy with God even attainable?

It also inspires the pursuit of nearness with God, identifies four levels of closeness with Him, and reveals the characteristics of those who find and cherish such intimacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStevens encourages readers to run to God's secret place-to commit themselves to the pursuit of intimacy with Him. Then, to remain there. We find rest in His presence by presenting ourselves before Him, quieting ourselves from distractions, hearing His whisper, and sensing His heart. He awaits us there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nate Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1737682508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737682509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nate Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Nate Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44491721244927,"sku":"9781737682509","price":13.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e25b8ce-5137-440a-a24d-73283280d2ff.jpg?v=1699452850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gods-secret-place-nate-stevens-9781737682509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
