Stepping Closer To The Savior
The greatest challenge most of us have is connecting with our spirituality and deepening our relationship with God. We feel the need to know Him, but then the waves and roar and crash of life pull us into pitching tides, and before we know it, the time we'd set aside is gone. But deep beneath the surface, beneath the frenetic pace and pull, is a place of quiet peace... Author Melanie Redd invites us to take eight simple steps toward that place where heart, mind, and soul can meet with our Creator. Using exercises and clearly-outlined instructions, she shows how we can draw closer to Jesus, one step at a time, one day at a time. Each chapter is seasoned with inspiration and personal experiences and is organized to address the "why" and "how" of timeless issues, such Why step closer to Jesus? Why read and study the Bible? Help! I'm tired! Why pray? Can I really hear God speak to me? Whether you've been walking with the Lord for years or have just begun to get interested in Jesus, whether you're interested in deepening your own relationship with God or finding ways to share your faith with others, Redd's carefully laid-out action plan encourages you to begin your walk today, here, and now. The essence of Stepping Closer to the Savior is step towards Jesus, and He will step towards you.

I read this book via an Amazon KINDLE Unlimited download.
It goes without saying that today we’re in a time where basically all of our lives are harried; which negatively affects our relationships with our jobs, our families, and for any Christian it affects their relationships with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Christians need to get as close to the Lord as they possibly can to offer Him their unending thanks and praise, for they can remember ISAIAH 64:8 [ESV]
“… O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.”
But what stands in the way is our harried lives creating the largest barriers for any Christian desiring to increase their devoutness to the Lord expanding their affiliation with Him, in other words their love for Him; for they know and are mindful of DEUTERONOMY 7:9 [ESV]:
“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.”
Given this, how does a Christian, whether they be a woman or man, whether they be new to the faith or a longtime believer in the Lord’s largess obtain the nirvana they’re searching for with Him. In order to reach this desire, Christian need to find the appropriate guidance from a knowledgeable person regarding this matter. I believe, the author of this book, Melanie Redd, is that sort of individual; for she’s not only a devout follower of the Lord, also the Director of Women’s Ministry at the Faith Baptist Church in Tennessee. In writing this book she desires to take her readers gently down a path which will ultimately lead them into His loving arms and be blessed in their closer relationship with Him.
For wanting to see her readers have the best relationship they can possibly get, as a reviewer of Christian books, it gratifies me to give Ms. Redd the 5 STARS she’s gotten from me.
