Amidst Life's Clouds, a New Day!:
Encountering the Presence of God

We appreciate bright, joyful days and we thank God for them. But we also routinely experience darker, more chaotic, messy days in which we are challenged to even recognize God’s presence in our life.

How can I see a New Day amidst the clouds of my life?

How can I recognize God’s presence in the “now” moments of life?

How am I to experience God’s love, right now, today?

God loves you and me right where we are at, but too much to leave us there. God waits for our response, for our love. Are you prepared to spend some time and effort to see and acknowledge God’s presence in your life?

"In this deeply personal book, Bob Hartman delves into aspects of contemporary human life where we often fear treading, from restlessness and guilt to regret and loneliness. With warmth, insight, and honesty, he shows how these disruptive experiences are actually opportunities for maturing in practices of prayer and reflection that draw us ever more closely into the steady and reassuring presence of God’s unconditional love. It is an inspiring and distinctively Christian message of hope and perseverance for life’s journey."
