About

An encounter with God is within your reach.

We were created to be in fellowship with God. Encountering God is not some mysterious experience open only to the spiritual elite but a way of life we can all enjoy. Renowned worship leader David M. Edwards shows us what it means to encounter God each day. He offers a fresh look at how our spiritual ancestors pursued God, including Abraham, Paul and Silas, and David.

Written with all the insight of a seasoned leader and the passion of a genuine worshiper, Encountering God demonstrates how to encounter God daily through humility, obedience, and a sacrifice of praise.

"Easily understood, simply presented, Encountering God is David's best work yet."--Margaret Becker, singer and songwriter

"David shares such beautifully practical disciplines that are the obvious overflow of a life lived in pursuit of our Holy God."--Mike Weaver, lead singer, Big Daddy Weave

"Encountering God beckons the reader to embark upon a journey, one that is masterfully guided by the storytelling hand of author David M. Edwards."--From the foreword by Julie Reid, executive editor, Worship Leader magazine

Reviews

"With his latest release, Encountering God, David M. Edwards gets into the spiritual struggles of characters in the Bible and transfers their encounters to a place where readers can take part in their insight. Looking at ten different stories, Edwards deconstructs their 'God encounters,' unveiling truth for us today. It is a book that wouldn't work without a great amount of creative empathy, and that is the most impressive feat in Encountering God. Edwards acts as a guide through the spiritual journeys of those who have gone before us, but more importantly he makes their lessons applicable to believers today. As well as gaining a deeper understanding of the stories in the Bible, here we receive a challenge to find ourselves in the deepest truths of Scripture and, along with our biblical brothers and sisters, turn our hearts to God. This is a great personal devotion to keep your heart tender to your own continuous spiritual journey."--The Worshiper
