Where is God? Why do some people experience Him while others just hear about Him? Why is God manifesting His glory in other countries through healings, visions, and other wonders-but not us? Hallelujah Handshake reveals ten miscues Mike Mills has personally observed that either keep God out of our churches or greatly limit His activity. Most of these are man-made traditions that have been accepted over the years as biblical.

God is still alive and available, but we just have to sift through the smoke-screen to find Him. The favorite saying of churches, "That''s the way we''ve always done it," is getting ready to be challenged!
