Within the deepest chambers of my being, there is a yearning to know my creator. I can't explain it; it's just there--silent and loud, profound and simple, mysterious and recognizable at the same time. I wonder whether you sense it, too, a desire to connect with something beyond the physical world that surrounds us.Do you long for more than what organized religion has to offer? Is God encouraging you to swim in deeper waters, where whispers abound and the heart is stirred? If so, you will welcome this book.For far too long, we have confused the whispers of a still-speaking God with religion, ritual, and right belief, and doing so has sucked the life right out of us. This book will increase your awareness of and sensitivity to the sacred presence that is within you, beside you, under you, over you, and beyond you. Isn't it time for you to experience the reality of God in your life?
