Deeper Still: Intimate Conversations with God

By Pastor Pearl Moses

Author and pastor Pearl Moses prays that you experience ever-increasing depths of intimacy in your pursuit of the King. She hopes that your entire life may be caught up in the pursuit of His presence and your heart enraptured by His gaze.

Deeper Still: Intimate Conversations with God presents a communion-with-God journal that picks up conversations with God in a similar vein to her first journal, A Heart Full of Prayers. Through musings and prayers, Moses seeks to amplify Abba Father’s call to intimacy with Himself. In processing her own heart’s responses to that call, she invites you not to shy away from transparency with God but instead to pour out your joy, passions, pain, and struggles before Him as a vital part of a deeper, closer walk with our beloved Lord and King. Here she shares prayers of thanksgiving, prayer wrestlings to hearten and help anyone struggling emotionally, prayers written during a period of hospitalisation and recuperation during several months of national lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and prayers inspired by a range of life circumstances, readings, and musings.

Offered as a companion resource to A Heart Full of Prayers, this collection presents prayers for all who hunger and thirst for a deeper, closer walk with God.

ENDORSEMENTS

One of my favourite quotes from any book is found in CS Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. Aslan, speaking to Susan, reveals the profound truth that ‘there is a magic deeper still which she (the White Witch) did not know…"

Pearl’s latest book (and I say latest because I sincerely hope there will be more to follow) knows and reveals to us this same magic deeper still.

Pearl leads us on a journey, akin to that of Lucy discovering Narnia through the wardrobe. Pearl helps us; through the deepest recesses of her experiences, thoughts, hopes and dreams. Taking us further into ‘deeper still.’ And it is there that our own experiences, thoughts, hopes and dreams are brought into a place where Jesus is. We are safe there. With Pearl yes, but most of all with her heavenly Father and with Jesus, whom she loves most. As Pearl reveals more and more of her own vulnerabilities, she somehow shines a searching light on ours. Not a harsh, blinding light, but a soft, warm radiance that is, in reality, coming from the One she takes us too in each prayer. This is a stop you in your tracks kind of prayer book – if you allow it to do so. It echoes the words in Psalm 23 (The Message version) which I know Pearl loves….’True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction’. This is a catching your breath kind of book. Deep, life giving breaths. In some ways it leaves you with more questions than answers to the here and now; but
