Book excerpt: Do you struggle with intimacy with God? How do we get to know God? Once we get to know Him personally, how do we develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him? The struggle of finding and enjoying increasing intimacy with God is real. From birth, each person inherits a God-shaped vacuum only He can fill. Once a personal relationship with Him is established, every child of God faces two deep desires: a longing for deeper intimacy with Him or the desire for freedom from whatever prevents it. But no one is immune from the struggle of finding and maintaining intimacy with God. Does God truly want intimacy with me or does He only get close to certain people? As the Almighty, Sovereign God, why would He want to have anything to do with insignificant me? Is intimacy with God even attainable? I've tried several times, yet nothing seems to work-nothing changes. How can we resist God's compelling love and desire for intimacy with us? What else are we waiting for before yielding and running into His embrace? What prevents us from starting and nurturing intimate time in His presence? God's Secret Place answers such questions with insights from Scripture and through dissecting human relationships. It also inspires the pursuit of nearness with God, identifies four levels of closeness with Him, and reveals the characteristics of those who find and cherish such intimacy. Stevens encourages readers to run to God's secret place-to commit themselves to the pursuit of intimacy with Him. Then, to remain there. We find rest in His presence by presenting ourselves before Him, quieting ourselves from distractions, hearing His whisper, and sensing His heart. He awaits us there.
