Description: God, for many people, is an abstract figure who set the world running but is now largley absent from it. Even Christians can fall into this trap. Academics spend their time merely talking about God. Churches exist for their own fulfillment. When this happens, God seems far away.

But in the Bible, God is not only center-stage; he is intimately involved with his people. Lanier Burns shows us that, at each stage of the unfolding story of God and his people, God's presence is never far away.

"Our world flounders, trying to find a spiritual center of gravity. Here is a contemporary, yet scholarly, text to stabilize, strengthen, and encourage seeking hearts.... I highly recommend this excellent tool for pastors, ministry leaders, and anyone in pursuit of ultimate truth."
--Howard G. Hendricks, Dallas Theological Seminary

"This is an encouraging and helpful book by an insightful and seasoned scholar.... Lanier Burns sheds much light on a wonderful but neglected biblical theme: God’s presence. Readers will find their theology deepened, their hope rekindled, and their joy increased."
--Christopher W. Morgan, California Baptist University
