God Is Closer Than You Think

In God Is Closer Than You Think, acclaimed pastor and bestselling author John Ortberg delivers a transformative, practical guide that dismantles the common misconception of God as an inaccessible, distant cosmic sovereign.

Blending keen psychological insights, biblical scholarship, warmth, and memorable humor, he reveals how Christians can detect God's presence while sitting in traffic, managing household chores, or navigating difficult relational interactions. Readers are guided through concrete spiritual habits to overcome feelings of divine silence, cultivate uninterrupted communion with Christ, and transform mundane tasks into sacred encounters. This inspiring and comforting book serves as a powerful spiritual catalyst, encouraging believers to experience the reality that God is indeed nearer than their next breath.
