These raw prayers reveal what an intimate relationship with God looks and sounds like. They provide a clear path for us to move toward joy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eNearing a Far God\u003c\/i\u003e, master teacher Leslie Leyland Fields will lead you in exploring seven different forms of the Psalms--lament, wisdom, trust, confession, creation, thanksgiving, and praise. At the end of each chapter, you'll practice transformative writing and prayer exercises to engage your whole brain and body. As you begin to see the Psalms with fresh eyes and discover how to speak the language of authentic relationship, you'll learn how to come before God in your best and worst moments, find your truest voice, and encounter the intimate God who responds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo enrich your journey, use this book to encounter God in honest prayer with a friend or in a group!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.19 x 5.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 19, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47369631465650,"sku":"9781641586733","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/d784ad3cf656ee818c6fbdf883944695.webp?v=1777597293","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/nearing-a-far-god-praying-the-psalms-with-our-whole-selves-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
