It’s easy to recognize God in a church service or while attending a wedding or a funeral. But it’s easy to forget about Him in the busyness of our daily lives. This gift book encourages the reader to notice God in the everyday happenings around us. Whether it’s a smile from a co-worker, the love of a spouse, the sound of the ocean, or a look at the stars, it all speaks God’s name if we just take the time to see and listen. Content is excerpted from God Is Closer Than You Think by John Ortberg.
