Book Cover & Preview Text
What do you want? Do you just want to barely make it into heaven or do you want to know God? If you choose the latter, you will experience a Christian walk that few ever truly taste and know. It will change your world and your life. You will discover it is not about us but about Him. He will matter more than your necessary food or the material things we so covet and try to attain. Heaven will be your destination, not because you want ease and comfort, but because it is where He dwells. When you hear His name mentioned your heart will skip a beat with joy. When you sing about Him in church, it won't be just a song, but a melody about the One you share your happiness with. You will praise not of commandment, but of desire. Your heart and His will begin to weld together in a union that is heavenly in its wonder and deeper than the ocean in its depths. You will see others through His eyes. Your heart will know a love that exceeds any you have known before in the world of men.

If you wholeheartedly desire a greater intimacy with God, this book will provide insights into his character. Do you dare to see God for who he is? Then read this book and immerse yourself in the knowledge of his amazing power, love, and grace.
