The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and be known by God. God longs for an intimate relationship with us as well. But how do we develop that kind of relationship with a holy God? It is one thing to long for such a relationship, but quite another to experience intimacy with Him. In "Leaving Ordinary," Donna Gaines shares from her personal experience how prayer can become the channel that links the believer's heart to the heart of God.

God gave the pattern of the tabernacle to the Israelites. It was a temporary and portable dwelling for His glory. Through it God taught them how to approach and worship Him before He led them to their reward--the promised land. Using the tabernacle and its articles as a guide, Donna teaches readers how to interact with God in that secret place of true intimacy that leads to worship. Your "ordinary" daily practice of prayer can become an "extraordinary "encounter with the living Lord. "Leaving Ordinary" is essential reading for anyone who desires to enter into and experience the reality of God's presence.

As you read, you will:

• Explore the tabernacle and discover how it can be a guide for prayer today.
• Learn how to gain a stronger, more intimate relationship with God.
• Develop your own personal prayer testimony as you experience His presence.
