BOOK REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Closer Than Your Skin by Susan D. Hill

Pin It



Closer Than Your Skin Unwrapping the Mystery of Intimacy with God

Author: Susan D. Hill

Publisher: WaterBrook Press (February 19, 2008)

ISBN-10: 1400073820

ISBN-13: 978-1400073825


I really enjoyed this book. It opened my eyes to the fact that I take for granted my relationship with God and don't listen for Him to "talk to me" in small moments. I'm constantly on the go or constantly doing something and I probably have missed many "sneeze moments" as the author calls them. Moments that are so little that you may brush them away as nothing and don't realize that God was trying to tell you something.


The author shares stories from her life that were "sneeze moments" and how she now realizes that God was telling her something then.


This book is for everyone that wants to experience that closer relationship with their Heavenly Father. He is willing to talk to you, you just need to be willing to listen.


Are you listening?


I give this book Five stars and would recommend it to others.

ABOUT THE BOOK


If you crave the real experience of God’s presence in your daily life…


If you sense there’s more to Christianity than service, study, and superficial spirituality…


If you’re ready to go beyond knowing about God
to truly
knowing Him…

Here’s where life with God begins.

Is God really like a father who cares about the details of our everyday lives? Then why does He often seem so far away, distant in the moments when we could most use a personal touch from Him?


So many of us have lived in that unspoken longing. In these incredible stories, you’ll see how one person found that God is not always content to wait for us to discover Him amid the clutter of life. Instead, when we simply hold out our hands, He illuminates our ordinary world and gives us new eyes to see.


Closer Than Your Skin traces the journey of an ordinary Christian who longed to move beyond the trappings of faith to genuine life with God. Her story reveals how to overcome the obstacles that most often block such intimate connection. Through this remarkable account, you’ll gain tangible insight into what a daily, vibrant companionship with the Creator really feels like once you wake up to the eternal reality all around you.


Interactive study guide included.

  43. During my lifetime, I have seen God work many many ways. However there are still things we take for granted that are little miracles.... the extra 5 minutes it takes in the morning, may actually save our lives by having us avoid an accident, or hitting a deer crossing the road. Not all the things we think are negative really are!
