Synopsis

God's face is always shining toward us. Our God is not asleep, nor indifferent. But we don't always experience this nearness or the depth of how beloved we truly are—especially if we have experienced neglect, betrayal, or indifference in our formative human relationships.

Drawing from the deep well of Scripture, attachment theory, and her own personal story, Summer Joy Gross invites you to experience Emmanuel, God-with-us, as the One whose love toward you is secure and unchanging. She teaches you simple, repeatable practices grounded in biblical teaching and our rich and ancient church traditions that will equip you day-by-day to build a secure attachment with the God who holds you in a sure hand.

Because when you are rooted in God's nearness in the ordinary moments, you can rest in God in the midst of life's storms.

There came a time when the tools I had for connecting with the Lord weren't working. I'd only been given a few by the church and I was struggling to know how to find Jesus in the midst of my heartache, my overstimulated early days of motherhood, my loneliness, my longings when the rigid models for p......more
