Drawing Near, A Life of Intimacy with God by John Bevere

You can’t long for what you don’t realize you’re lacking.” Tragically, many believers miss out on deep intimacy with God simply because they don’t recognize what it is—or how to pursue it. Yet from the beginning, humanity was designed for close relationship with God, and this has always been His greatest desire. The Bible makes it clear: God passionately pursues us and delights in those who seek Him. However, we must approach Him on His terms—not ours.

In Drawing Near, John Bevere guides readers toward a deeper, more intimate walk with God. Stressing the importance of obedience, he challenges us to actively cultivate our communication with the Holy Spirit—just as we would practice any skill we wish to master. Prayer, Bevere explains, is a two-way conversation, not a one-sided request. He inspires us to pause and listen at the feet of our Heavenly Father. Each chapter includes reflective study questions, and a practical “How to Draw Near to God” section provides actionable steps to foster genuine closeness with Him.
