The Pursuit of God

Kissing the Face of God by Sam Hinn
Enter a Realm of Worship More Wonderful Than You Can Imagine

The perfect kiss . . . How close do you have to be to kiss someone? You have to be up close and personal to plant your lips on someone else! It's this kind of closeness that God wants to experience with you. When was the last time you were close enough to kiss the face of God? What keeps you from doing so now? If the very concept of "kissing God" startles you, maybe even cause you to feel uneasy . . read on!

There is a closeness and intimacy that God longs to have with you. True worship always brings this kind of closeness, and it always results in transformation. God is pursuing you, not your worship, and He wants you to stay in His presence.

Get ready . . . the best is yet to come! So often we settle for far less than what God has planned! In order to experience ever deeper intimacy with God, you must move beyond a weekly visit on Sunday morning. Kissing the Face of God will encourage, woo and maybe even challenge you to a deeper, more wonderful realm of communion with God than you have ever imagined possible!

"In Kissing the Face of God, a pastor's heart has served us with a desire to know God better. The human heart is His avenue of speaking to and drawing us to Himself, and Sam Hinn is here helping us with insights sensitizing us to such a possibility." —Jack Hayford, Founding Pastor, Church on the Way

"Sam Hinn understands that worshiping God is the single most important thing we do. Worship is not just the doorway—it's the entire house." —Ted Haggard, Pastor, New Life Church, Colorado Springs

A Hunger for God
Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer
by John Piper
Do you have a hunger fo Him? As John Piper puts it: "If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great." If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this path of pleasant pain called fasting. For when God is the supreme hunger in your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you.
