Closer Than Your Skin by Susan D. Hill

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Author Susan Hill traces her discovery of a vibrant companionship with God and shows how it can become an everyday reality for anyone. Through stirring stories from her life, she assures readers that knowing God is more than spiritual rhetoric; it's reality for those who learn to recognize His voice.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Susan D. Hill is an award-winning feature writer and a leader of interdenominational women's groups, where she has sought answers to the common longing for a more authentic spiritual experience. She also serves on the board of the Uganda Orphans Fund, a non-profit Christian relief organization building orphan homes for victims of AIDS and war. Susan and her husband, Duncan, have three children and live in Montana.

MY TAKE ON THE BOOK:

This is what we should be reading in the days of "reality" television and feel-good...well, you know. Susan takes us on a walk through her life and her growth in her relationship with Christ. There is nothing candy-coated or overly warm and fuzzy about the valleys that she has experienced in her life. She does bring to life how God meets us in the ordinary moments of life - and just how real He can be to each and every person in that every day life, both in the victories and the pain. This book hooked me from the start (usually only fiction does that!) and it challenged me to go farther and deeper in my personal walk with Jesus - and any book that does that is well worth reading!
