具体描述

Many people struggle to feel close to God. Some believe that, because they are not exalted, holy, or pure, they are unworthy of an intimate relationship with their Higher Power. Others look for God in all the wrong places: in other people, money, or success. The reality is that-similar to being courted, falling in love, and getting married-building an authentic relationship with God involves trust and lifelong dedication. With humor and insight, spiritual director and psychologist Judith Turian reveals that-no matter how limited we are as humans in our capacity for love-God is ready to meet us halfway and to love us just as we are. We must simply learn to look within ourselves and our everyday lives to find grace. Turian draws from her personal experience and professional training to offer readers this down-to-earth, often humorous guide to cultivating a real, mature relationship with the God of their understanding. She explores how to take a risk and let God in, get comfortable with God, enjoy being around God, and deal with having second thoughts about the relationship. Each stage is illustrated by relatable stories of others who have grown in their relationships with their Higher Power.
