Trained in the tradition of John Wesley and steeped in over thirty years of prayer, meditation, and service to his pastoral ministry, author Alan Beasley is a man who lives for the word of God.
In this collection of devotionals, he shares moments from his own encounters with God in order to inspire and lead others toward a life of more robust prayer and worship.
Beasley writes each morning without any forethought or pretense, instead relying upon the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to inform his musings. He starts with a daily verse from the Bible, then sheds light on the truth of the scripture and ushers readers to a deeper relationship with the Lord.
These daily devotionals follow the Christian liturgical calendar, starting with themes from the life of Christ and then flowing into Lent, Easter, the birth of the church in Acts, the growth of the church through the writing of Paul, the teachings of John the Apostle, and general themes that culminate with Thanksgiving and Advent.
Perfect for anyone who desires a deeper and more authentic relationship with the Lord, Growing Moments in the Presence of God will help you flourish in grace and faith.
