Pursuing God's Presence: A Practical Guide to Daily Renewal and Joy - Paperback

by Roger Helland (Author), Mark Buchanan (Foreword by)

As believers around the world pray for renewal and revival in our conflicted times, they often neglect a key ingredient: pursuing God's presence. The problem, says pastor and theologian Roger Helland, is that we were never taught, in a balanced and biblical way, how to seek, experience, and host God's kavod--his radiant glory, his manifest presence.

Offering grounded and practical teaching, balanced with Scripture and Spirit, Helland shows how to live out a deeper biblical experience of the Holy Spirit and the manifest presence of God, helping you

- sort through common fears and misunderstandings about God's presence
- discover hands-on ways to pursue holiness and the presence of God in everyday life
- live a presence-centered life in discipleship at work, home, and church
- experience God's supernatural strength, vitality, transformation, renewal, and joy

The world needs believers who, like the psalmist declared, seek the manifest presence of God continually. When you learn to seek, experience, and host God's presence, it will transform you--and it will transform the world.
