  • Study: God is Closer Than You Think – John Ortberg
    • Bestselling author, Ortberg reveals the face of God waiting to be discovered in the complex mosaic of your life. He shows you God’s hand stretching toward you. By weaving contemporary references (The Princess Bride and Monty Python) with solid scriptural analysis and his own experience, he provides many ways to understand how close we are to God. And, with his gift for storytelling, Ortberg illustrates the ways you can reach toward God and complete the connection—to your joy and his. This book is not the usual “take two quiet times and call me in the morning” pastoral prescriptive.
