Book Cover & Preview Text
To me, all of scripture and all obedience and all of Christianity come together in trust in Christ. And so the fulfillment of all of what it is to be in this relationship is summed up in a question for me: How much of Jesus do I have in my life? I am convinced that the answer is based on how deep and complete my trust in Him is.

About the Book
Our growth in intimacy with Jesus begins with salvation. We come to surrender to His Lordship and begin learning of the I AM through trust. We come to know Him intimately and understand our sufficiency in Him alone. We learn His presence and leading and see His power. These are aspects of the intimate, trusting relationship He wants to have with us.
About the Author
JOSEPH GILLESPIE was called to missions in Brazil in 1986. Since that time, he has been preparing for the work there. The Lord has been the one preparing him for ministry there, and the lessons in this book are part of the preparation. The preparations of the heart for any kind of service involve having an intimate relationship with Jesus. This book is intended to stir up a hunger for this more intimate relationship. After receiving Jesus in 1976, he received from the Lord a sense of calling that became more defined and eventually moved to training. This training has continued until today. He currently lives in Huntsville, Alabama, and is the missions coordinator at Restoration Foursquare Church in Madison, Alabama. In the near future, he and his wife Cristina plan to move to Brazil.
