The purpose of this book is to provide a devotional resource that will lead readers into a personal encounter with God's presence. It is meant to help the reader connect the head and the heart. This book is organized around 30 readings that will take you through an entire month. Each reading, one for each day of a month, consists of a detailed study of a biblical passage (From the Head...) followed by a devotional application based on that passage (...To the Heart). The book both traces the theme of God's presence throughout Scripture but focuses on engaging God's presence at a personal level. The goal is that you practice encountering the presence of God.
