Your heart has been created for the Presence of God and it is not complete without His Presence living within. Naysayers try to convince you that His Presence is elusive and subjective but their voice is silenced by the desire yearning from within for a union with your Lord and Creator.
As a credible response for those who want to fill that inner voice with His perfect union, The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence was written. Author James Goll’s own journey into His Presence has brought him face-to-face with angels and the Lord. Jim has heard His voice and has moved in His Presence for many years, carefully recording what he now shares with you.
Joyfully you will discover how the Lord covets union with you as much as you seek His Presence. You will also:
- Discover the delight of quiet meditation.
- Learn to wait and to watch with your Lord.
- Experience the joy of contemplative prayer.
- Understand the fire of His love.
- Learn about others’ journeys who sought and found the sweetness of His Presence.
The wisdom contained in this book will give you moment-by-moment confidence and hope as you journey toward the joy and pleasure of His Presence.

This book impacted me so deeply on my first read-through that it is hard to find words to describe it. This book should be on every Christian’s bookshelf and if someone asks to borrow it, don’t let them have it. Buy them one instead. You will want to keep yours for further reference and study. It is destined to be a classic and will be savored by on-going generations.
