"Have you tried harder to have a consistent time with the Lord--but failed?"

"Does your mind wander during prayer, and do you run out of things to say?"

"Do you question why it is so "hard" to fellowship with the Lord?"

Gene Edwards faced these same questions and struggles. And he found a better way to walk with the Lord than merely trying harder to pray and read the Bible.

In "Living Close to God When You're Not Good at It" you will discover that loving God means much more than doing your best to serve Him. You will find ways to start your day with Christ, beginning with your first conscious thought in the morning. You will learn how to fellowship with Him during even the most demanding days. And when you go to the Scriptures, you will talk with Him in a two-way conversation--just as His first followers did.

Stop feeling like a failure at daily devotions and start walking every day with the Lord who loves you.
