Balancing Scripture and Spirit, pastor and professor Roger Helland shows pursuing God’s presence isn’t about seeking signs and wonders – it’s about seeking God’s kavod: His radiant glory, His manifest presence. Sorting through common fears and misunderstandings about God’s presence, Helland offers biblical and practical teaching, to help you:
- Pursue God’s presence and holiness in everyday life,
- Live a presence-centered life at work, home and church,
- Enjoy a deeper biblical fulness of the Holy Spirit and
- Experience God’s supernatural strength, vitality, renewal and joy.
God’s kavod changes everything. When you learn to seek, experience and host His presence, it will transform you – and the world.
