The Pathway to God's Presence encourages those who feel as though they have lost the sense of God's presence in their lives and wish greatly to restore it.

Review:

Tom Elliff has written one of the finest books on prayer I've ever read. The Pathway to God's Presence will challenge you, stretch you and encourage you. Tom shows us that finding your way into God's presence is not a matter of dropping by for a few moments when it's convenient.

As you read this book, you will walk a path few have trodden. Yet, it is a path open for all who seek to go deeper with the Lord. This is not a how to book as much as it is a roadmap along the path of prayer that leads you into a deeper awareness of His presence.

I learned these truths from Tom years ago when he served as a pastor. They are not theories, but fine tuned truths, gleaned from personal experiences and excellent exegesis of Scripture. These truths were not written by a pastor who prays, they were written by a praying pastor....there's a difference. You'll see what I mean as you turn the pages and begin your journey.

I love this book. You will love it to. Get ready, your prayer life is about to take a turn in a new and wonderful direction --Michael Catt - Sherwood Baptist Church Albany, GA

Tom Elliff understands the pathway to revival as well as any spiritual leader I know. And his experience as a missionary and leader of the world's largest mission's agency adds urgency to his plea for revival -- spiritual awakening in the church is the critical factor for world evangelization. This book outlines the spiritual solution for our times. --Byron Paulus - Executive Director, Life Action Ministries

Some men write a book, but then discount it with their lives. Other men write a book and then illustrate it with their lives. This book fits the latter category. Written by a man who is one of the godliest men I know, this work is thoroughly biblical, intensely practical, and personally challenging. I started reading it in my chair and ended reading it on my knees, asking God to renew His glory in me. Chapter 4, The Value of an Interceding Friend, is a must read for leaders of God's church. --Chuck Lawless - Dean of Graduate Studies Southeastern Seminary Global Theological Education Consultant IMB Connecting
