What a marvelous difference it makes in our lives when we draw close to the Holy Spirit! Regardless of what our past has been, in every trial or difficulty that may afflict us now, whatever we may face in the future, when we draw near to the Holy Spirit, our lives change for the good. Closeness with the Holy Spirit is the blossoming in us of the graces of our Baptism and especially of our Confirmation. It is then that the Holy Spirit irrevocably seals us with Himself so that we belong completely to Him. Even more, He gives Himself completely to us, to belong to us, to be ours to possess and enjoy. The Holy Spirit who is the Father's and Son's infinitely sweet and mutual Love is now ours, our Beloved and intimate Friend, our Consoler, Healer, and Guide! If we are weighed down with problems and worries, if we long for more love and joy and peace, the Holy Spirit invites us to come close, to let Him do for us what we cannot do ourselves. As the saints experienced in their own weakness, the Holy Spirit is our fierce Protector who loves us tenderly and who fights powerfully for us. We draw near to the Holy Spirit by speaking to Him throughout the day, using the most tender of names, as the Church herself does in her beautiful hymns and prayers to the Holy Spirit. Let us entrust to Him everything that concerns us, asking Him to possess us completely, and to anoint our every breath and every second of our lives. The saints bear witness to how powerfully and tenderly the Holy Spirit dwells within us. May we discover for ourselves the wonders the Holy Spirit accomplishes in those who draw close to Him!

In Drawing Near, John Bevere invites readers to explore a life of intimacy with God. Emphasizing the need for obedience, he urges us to practice-just as we would practice anything we hope to improve-our communication with the Holy Spirit. Understanding that prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue, Bevere encourages us to listen at the Father's feet. Study questions in each chapter offer opportunity for reflection, and a "How to draw near to God" section offers practical steps toward developing true intimacy with Him.

Where is the church now compared to fifty years ago? Is our faith stronger or weaker? Is the church's influence what it used to be? If not, why? We need to understand that as goes the church, so goes the nation. God has called the church to be the head-not the tail-leading society to His throne of grace. Only Believe is dedicated to revealing the heart of God according to the Bible for revival, a stronger personal relationship with Christ, and more effective church growth. The reason for our national dilemma, how to have a personal relationship with Jesus, and the biblical answers to other questions are included and backed up by the authority of Scripture. I pray that Only Believe: Drawing Closer to God will lead you to personal spiritual introspection as you take this spiritual journey. "Keith Kimball has combined his vast Bible knowledge with many years of experience to compile one of the most practical and pertinent books for our day: Only Believe. His premise is so basic, and yet so overlooked by a generation which seems to be on a quest to sensationalize the message at the risk marginalizing the truth. New believers as well as seasoned saints will be blessed as they are challenged to simply believe the life and work of Jesus and to simply obey His commands." -Royce E. Williams, evangelist, Missions Evangelism Ministries "Keith's book carries out a word he uses in one of his chapters: simplicity. He uses the great truths of the Bible to challenge the reader to apply them in their quest to draw closer to God. A good read." -Dr. Jim Henry, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention
