Synopsis

What if you didn't have to go looking for God's presence? What if you could enjoy it all the time?

Glenna Marshall's awakening to God's presence began in the depths of winter. Rereading her journal, she realized that for six months she'd been cataloging all the ways God had abandoned her. What if that . . . wasn't true? Interweaving her own story of faith and doubt amid suffering, Glenna traces the theme of God's presence from Genesis to Revelation and shows what it means for us in our own daily joys and struggles.

God's presence among his people set him apart from the pagan gods of ancient times. His presence on earth as God Incarnate split history in two. And today his presence is one of the most significant means of his goodness to us.

Goodreads review by Amy on April 05, 2020

Excellent. I underlined a ton! A good read for anyone struggling with infertility, the fear of infertility, chronic illness, or really any issue that does not have a quick and easy answer on this earth. Very relevant for a pandemic, too, I would think. I would probably give this 4.5 stars if that wer......more

Goodreads review by Jodie on July 05, 2019

I felt like I was in Glenna's living room, gleaning from her wisdom and soaking in God's presence through her words, in the midst of my own trials. She beautifully presents the entirety of Scripture as it relates to human need and God's offering to fulfill it. And she shares her personal story as on......more
