Descriere: "Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation." 1 Peter 2:2It's a fact of life: our health declines if we don't nourish our bodies every day with food and water. That's true physically. It's true spiritually as well.If we neglect to regularly feed our souls on the Holy Scriptures, our faith becomes weak and we start to lose touch with our Savior. Growth is stifled... if it happens at all. Drawing Near, used daily in combination with God's Holy Word, can not only help bring you closer to God but also keep you from spiritual stagnation. This book will guide you in a growing relationship with Him.As Pastor MacArthur says in his Introduction: "Our entertainment-conscious, quick-fix, fast-food society does everything it can to divert us from setting aside time to study God's Word. As you well know from your own efforts, Bible study is not often entertaining--it's hard work. It takes discipline to set aside time each day to reap the benefits such study has to offer. If you reach an impasse when it's time to sit down, open your Bible, and try to decide what to do, you're not alone. Without some plan to follow, it's easy to become frustrated and eventually give up after only one or two days. That's where this book comes in."If you desire greater understanding of the precious Word of God, if you want a daily guide to draw you closer to the Lord, this outstanding collections of 365 devotional readings by one of America's most respected and trusted Bible teachers is for you!

When someone whom we cared about is suddenly gone from our lives, it can be devastating. The grieving process can stretch over several months. Here is a tested and proven resource for those who need a daily companion during such a time of loss. The author provides daily readings for sixteen weeks following the loss of a "significant other." The promises of God in Jesus Christ are central in each message. My wife and I found this book most helpful when we were struggling with our grief following the lightning bolt death of our 25-year-old son. We found The Lonely House to be a source of real comfort. Merton Strommen Founder, Search Institute and Augsburg Youth and Family Institute Minneapolis, Minnesota Lowell O.
