About this audiobook
There is nothing more important in this life or the one to come than an intimate connection with Jesus. Unfortunately, we have thousands of voices distracting us, and all too often we listen to them. We confuse proximity to God with intimacy with God and are content with a Christian-branded life yet miss out on what we were created for: knowing God intimately.
Sharing the touching story of a demon-possessed man who had every reason to run the other way when he encountered Jesus, Heath Adamson shows us how spiritual hunger can overcome our hopelessness, our shame, and our excuses. He encourages us to pursue God regardless of where we've been or where we are, seeing our salvation as a doorway. Once we walk through it, we can discover the love of God in a tangible way.
This book is for anyone who longs for a deeper connection to God, who has felt far from peace and hope, and who needs the assurance that God is both interested in who they are and accepts them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I had won an advance paperback copy of this book from the publisher through a giveaway they had on GoodReads, and the following is my honest opinion.It's easy to imagine a devil-possessed individual singing Amazing Grace once they've allowed themself to accept the Lord into their once decrepit life and lifestyle. Those of us who have already gone from merely having a simple relationship with the Lord to one that is more intimate and are always already to proclaim it by singing What a Friend We Have in Jesus:What a friend we have in JesusAll our sins and griefs to bearAnd what a privilege to carryEverything to God in prayer It, however, is regrettable how so many Christian are confused regarding the level of their relationship with the Lord. Their confusion is rooted in all of the worldly distractions they've got in their perceived Christian lifestyle. They're eager to attain a more intimate relationship with Him but are clueless as to how to do it. The author of this book, Heath Adamson, seeks to enlighten his readers regarding this desired relationship by skillfully interweaving his life experiences and others with biblical stories that most Christians already know from the Sunday School classes they had as children.Add to this, the addition of scripture, and the apparent result is the realization that anyone with a hunger for religion in their life has the capacity of conquering their despair, their embarrassment, and justification of not having the Lord being a part of their lives. And by inspiring his readers to follow the Lord regardless of their current relationship status, that they'd be able to see their redemption as an entranceway in discovering the Lord's love in a more noticeable realization.For wanting his readers to achieve a deeper connection to the Lord so that they can sing Amazing Grace in regards to their spiritual transformation, I've given Mr. Adamson the 5 STARS he's garnered from this voracious reviewer of nonfiction Christian books.
