You know that perfect feeling? That Life-Is-Good moment on the open highway with the windows down and the radio up, when the perfect song comes on, and you sing along with carefree, top of your lungs abandon? When joy and contentment and life well up from somewhere deep in your soul? What if you could live that way? A seventeenth-century monk named Brother Lawrence figured out how, and wrote about it in the devotional classic, The Practice of the Presence of God. He found a way to connect with God moment by moment, to experience the joy of his divine presence every minute of every day—whether during deep, contemplative prayer or while washing a sink full of dishes. In God Is Here, Steve Case unearths that seventeenth-century wisdom and remixes it into a twenty-first-century guide to everyday life. With modern, thought-provoking essays drawn from Brother Lawrence’s original writings, God Is Here shows you how to connect with a God who’s always available. God is here. Connect.

Por milhares de anos, os seres humanos têm procurado se conectar com o divino. Como pode o natural tocar o sobrenatural? Ou deveríamos fazer a pergunta oposta - como Deus pode Se conectar a nós? Este livro propõe que isso pode acontecer e que realmente continua acontecendo. Quando eu era jovem, chegou um momento em que tive que escolher por mim mesmo se Deus seria, ou não, o meu Deus. As pessoas sempre tiveram que fazer essa escolha ao longo da história deste mundo. Mesmo aqueles que crescem em um ambiente religioso têm que decidir, em algum momento, se vão considerar Deus um Ser pessoal ou meramente cultural; um Deus verdadeiro ou uma fraude. Assim como o vinho novo precisa de odres novos, cada pessoa e cada geração deve descobrir Deus novamente. E quando Deus Se torna real, a vida muda, pelo menos em alguns aspectos. Parece que a epifania marca a fronteira do território desconhecido. Muitas vezes precisamos de novos termos, novas músicas e novos textos para o novo tempo. Embora Deus nunca tenha Se limitado ao cristianismo, o leitor verá rapidamente que eu igualo Jesus Cristo a Deus e digo que a conexão com Jesus conecta a pessoa a Deus. Este livro baseia-se unicamente na Bíblia como fonte de autoridade, apesar de eu não tentar provar a validade da Bíblia. Cito a Bíblia inúmeras vezes e me refiro a outras histórias e afirmações bíblicas. Você encontrará o capítulo e versículo nas notas no final de cada capítulo, listados pela ordem como aparecem neste livro. Tenho usado traduções e paráfrases livremente, pois o mesmo Deus que inspirou os escritores da Bíblia continua a atuar quando uma pessoa lê não apenas o texto original em hebraico ou grego, mas também as tentativas do tradutor de comunicar Deus de todas as formas. Escrevi este livro para estabelecer e construir sua conexão com Deus. À medida que isso acontece, eu digo: "Louvado seja Deus!" e "Que legal!" Quando isso não acontece, eu digo: "Sinto muito" e "Continue buscando". Afinal de contas, Deus continua buscando uma conexão com você! Steve Case
