Close to His Majesty: A Road Map to God

by David C. Needham

This God we worship is a mysterious, incomprehensible God. His love, His patience, His holiness, His power, His purposes, and His wisdom will forever leave us in a state of astonished wonder. Yet . . . the Bible tells us that we truly can "taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8). Draw closer to the Lord your God. How can you go about "tasting" God? By stepping beyond your regular times of Bible reading and prayer to thoughtfully, worshipfully meditate on Him. If you want to draw closer to His majesty, you must actually come into His presence. And Close to His Majesty was written to help you do exactly that. Taste God's goodness for yourself through fifteen worshipful meditations on the attributes of God by beloved Bible teacher David Needham--and experience what it really means to draw Close to His Majesty.

One of my all-time favorite books. Great illustrations, and a pace that does not get bogged down. I have reread this book over and over again and I still come back to it for encouragement
