We tend to hem, ham, and search for words when trying to describe him and the role he performs in our lives. Part of the challenge may be found in the terms. We understand God as a Father. Jesus as a Son. But God as Spirit? The word itself is mystical.

You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic. Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever? This book shows you how.

They wait on the anvil, being shaped by the craftsman's hammer, becoming in the sometimes painful process what they were meant to be.
