Does the idea of intimacy with God seem farfetched and irrelevant to your real, daily life? Ever wonder if your own "little story" has any significance in the larger scheme of things, or why God's Word doesn't seem to speak to you?

In "Close Enough to Hear God Breathe," readers encounter a rich message that recounts the story of a God who has been inviting all of humanity, and each individual, into his tender embrace since time began. Beautiful prose, powerful stories, and inventive teaching walk readers though this, the Bible's foremost narrative thread.

Both subtle and radical, full of common stories told in extraordinary fashion, this book weaves the experiences of the individual into the great tapestry of the biblical saga. The reader learns to hear the voice of God speaking in the ordinary events and relationships of life, as well as in the broad, deep current of Scripture.
