What could be better than partnering with someone who can give us the how-tos of life in this modern age? What if this person had all the remedies to the modern ills of society, and what if this person could be the voice of wisdom we need to silence the maelstrom of noises vying for our attention? Thankfully, we can keep company with our omnipotent God, who is just the person we need to guide us. In 40 Days in His Presence, author Beverly Williams invites all who are genuinely interested in capturing the wisdom of God to spend time with him daily in prayer, thanksgiving, and reflection. In a society full of quick fixes, we can instead find the real solution to lifes everyday challenges in the holy words of our consummate counselor, God. Gods Word, the Bible, can equip you to face and conquer those little foxes with confidence as you go about your day. And although social media and even your peers will tell you that anything goes in this day and age, only the timeless wisdom of God and his direction will give you the peace of mind, joy, and fulfilment that you seek. I am excited to write this for Beverlys first book, a powerful devotional that I know will bless readers and help them grow in maturity and power as they walk with the Lord.

It's been said that Centering Prayer is like two friends sitting together in silence, just being in each other's presence—completely natural and comfortable. Yet, Centering Prayer is sometimes viewed as too mysterious, too escapist, too hard. At first, it even appeared that way to the author, but events in his life and his further studies about prayer changed his views. Through Muyskens' insightful guidance, you'll explore a method of prayer that goes deeper than verbal conversations with God. This book teaches: silent communion with God a method of being open to the gift of God's presence a way of receiving a deep ad intimate relationship with God Each day's reading has a focal scripture verse and the author's reflection, ending with simple suggestions for contemplative prayer. You'll begin with as few as 5 minutes of Centering Prayer. By following the guidance in this book for 40 days, you will be led to a closer relationship with God. As you progress through the daily scripture and meditative readings in Forty Days to a Closer Walk with God, you'll find greater understanding and fresh awareness of Jesus' promise, "I am with you always."

Bestselling author Rebecca Barlow Jordan encourages readers to embrace a more inti-mate, fruitful relationship with God with 40 days of inspiring devotions. Many Christians don't know what it means to truly experience God's grace. They don't know how to open their hands, their eyes, or their hearts to his affection. In 40 Days in God's Blessing, Rebecca Barlow Jordan invites readers to walk in the shadows of saints gone before to trace the footprints of God's faithfulness in the lives of other believers. Through these moving stories, readers are brought face-to-face with the God who loves them more than they can imagine. Jordan inspires readers to seek out the God who wants to give them immeasurable grace. In just 40 days, readers will realize the blessings waiting especially for them. Rebecca Barlow Jordan was coauthor of Courage for the Chicken-Hearted (Honor, 1998), a CBA bestseller, and its fol-low-up, Eggstra Courage for the Chicken-Hearted (Honor, 1999).

Jordan's work has appeared in Family Circle, Focus on the Family, Home Life, Discipleship Journal, and Marriage Partnership. She has appeared on the At Home Live televi-sion program (Family Net) and on numerous radio sta-tions across the country. 40 Days in God's Blessing is the follow-up com-panion to 40 Days in God's Presence, which releases in January 2006.
