The Presence of God: Its place in the storyline of Scripture and the story of our lives

"God is with us." We say this in our sermons, prayers, and songs, but what does it really mean? For many Christians, the whole notion of God's presence remains vague and hard to define. However, as Ryan Lister argues in this important new book, the presence of God with his people is one of the most important themes in all of the Bible. Exploring both the Old and New Testaments"The Presence of God" will help readers develop a biblical perspective on the truth about his presence and its central role in his overarching plan to redeem and restore all of creation. In a world that longs for - but struggles to find -intimacy with the Almighty, this book will help readers discover the truth about God's divine presence with his people.
