Living Awake to the Nearness of God
by Adam Howard
We were not created to strive for God’s presence.
We were created to live aware of it.
In a distracted and hurried world, many believers have traded awareness for activity and nearness for noise. The Theology of Presence is an invitation to return.
This is not a call to do more.
It is an invitation to remain.
The Theology of Presence: Living Awake to the Nearness of God is a pastoral and theological invitation to rediscover the central reality of the Christian life: God is already near.
In a culture shaped by hurry, distraction, and constant activity, many believers have unknowingly drifted from a steady awareness of God’s presence. Faith can begin to feel like performance—measured, managed, and often exhausting.
This book offers a different vision.
Tracing the story of Scripture from Eden to Emmanuel, and from the indwelling Holy Spirit to the life of the church, Adam Howard explores how presence—not performance—has always been at the heart of God’s relationship with His people.
Through Scripture-rich teaching and practical reflection, readers will:
• Rediscover the nearness of God in everyday life
• Learn to approach prayer as awareness before words
• Recognize how hurry and distraction shape the soul
• Develop rhythms that cultivate attentiveness to God
• Begin to walk at the pace of presence
This is not a call to strive harder.
It is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and remain with the God who has never left.

Redeemed by Innocence
Barabbas was a man the world had already condemned — a murderer, a rebel, a man marked by chains and shame. Yet in the shadow of the Cross, he found a mercy deeper than his guilt and a freedom he could not earn.
Walk the broken roads with Barabbas. Witness the weight of undeserved grace.
This is a story for every soul who has ever feared their past would define them — and every heart brave enough to believe that God’s mercy speaks louder than their scars.
