Description
In Experience Jesus. Really. New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge invites groups to find their refuge in Christ and experience deep, lasting, real communion with him. In this present age, we are all becoming disciples of the internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. We think we're finally holding the keys to a better life. But if that’s true, then why are we all wrestling with ever-increasing levels of anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The truth is, we live in a world of weary, skeptical pragmatism. This is not only keeping us from experiencing the God we are dying without but also keeping us from experiencing the power we can’t live without—a power that only comes through intimate communion with our Creator. However, there is an alternative to the soulless and disenchanted world we find ourselves living in today. It is a path that leads where our hearts are yearning to go: back to Eden . . . to a state of unbroken communion with the God who created us for adventure and intimacy. We must awaken to the truth that God is still present with us, each and every day of our lives. We can experience the refuge of his powerful, healing presence—but only if we learn to open our hearts to him.
