The simplest, most transformative prayer you may ever pray"--the five senses prayer."

This book invites you to a simple practice of prayer and awareness that can turn each ordinary workday into a deepening spiritual journey.

No matter where you are or how busy you get, your five senses are always "on," your mind and heart responsive to what you perceive. These channels of awareness can take you deeper into God's great mystery if you practice the discipline of submitting them to the One who is closer than you imagine.

The beauty of such a contemplative path is that you can follow it anywhere--alone or in company, in quiet meditation or amid the bustle of your craziest day.

Moment by moment, you invite God to open you up--eyes, ears, nostrils, hands and mouth, heart and mind. And moment by moment, as you open yourself, you'll find yourself closer to God's grace-filled and wide-open heart. "Simply Open."

"THERE ARE A THOUSAND VOICES TELLING ME WHO I AM, OR WHO I SHOULD BE. I WANT TO HEAR WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY. I WANT TO KNOW THAT HE'S REALLY THERE. I WANT TO KNOW THAT IN THE WHOLE GRAND, TANGLED SWEEP OF THE HUMAN STORY, MY LITTLE STORY MATTERS. I NEED TO HEAR HIS VOICE, SPEAKING TO ME, IN MY OWN EARS..."
"In Close Enough to Hear God Breathe," acclaimed author Greg Paul shows readers through beautiful prose, powerful stories, and inventive teaching a rich message that recounts the story of a God who has been inviting all of humanity―and each individual―into a tender embrace since time began.
God longs for a relationship with each of His children. Our stories matter to Him. Your story matters to Him. Reading the Bible ought to be like putting one's head on God's chest and listening to His heartbeat. "Close Enough to Hear God Breathe" will help readers do just that. And when they do, they'll hear God whisper, "You are my child. I love you. And I am pleased with you."
