Do you long to feel close to God but don't know how? Do you ever wonder if intimacy is reserved for those who work harder or try to please Him more? A close relationship with the Lord is far simpler than you may imagine, says Cynthia Heald, because He desires intimacy with you, as well. In fact, He offers it to you as a precious gift-you need only to receive it. Cynthia Heald will help you learn how to understand and embrace the feelings of love, acceptance, and belonging that God extends to you. With biblical truth, practical application, and a personalized format, When the Father Holds You Close will guide you into a deeper experience of God's loving, intimate presence in your life.
