Sinossi

Many Christians have the belief and trust in their salvation, but seem to struggle to truly experience and sense God’s presence on an intimate level in their everyday lives. This is what Rory MaGrath experienced for nearly twenty-six years of his life, and his obsessive pursuit for genuine intimacy with his creator took him on a long and painful journey. Through an inadvertent miracle, Rory was introduced to a solution in the most unlikely of places, which opened the door to a relationship with God that was so naturally real that it appeared almost tangible; like God was actually there in the room or in the car with him. With this close relationship came the realisation that God’s power was then doing through him what he could never before do for himself. He realised that to breakthrough what seemed an invisible barrier, into this level of relationship with our Lord, it required a process.
He has written this book, as over the years he has interacted with many who have struggled yet found close intimacy with God through the same solution as he had. In the book he outlines this process step for step, precisely as he did it, including personal examples and worksheets to help.
He believes that anyone can move into the heart-felt relationship with God that we may have heard others speak about.

"Here we go again with this religious stuff!” I thought. I wanted to turf the whole thing. I had done the whole “God and church” thing and had failed miserably at experiencing anything real with Him. The God I thought I knew was not going to help me with this drinking problem. But I believe that the first paragraph or so saved my life. It said that the Program was not a religious one but rather a deeply spiritual one. It said that we should keep our minds open to the fact that there might be a being greater than ourselves who could possibly be able to help. Reading this made me just curious enough to read on. I praise God that I pressed on with reading the book. It suggested that instead of listening to other people’s perceptions of who God is, why didn’t I choose my own perception of Him? They hinted at the idea of thinking of God as one’s own, not as other people’s God. I decided my God would be loving, forgiving, understanding, patient, graceful, supportive, able and real to me. When I look at a portrait of Jesus these days, He is all those things and more! The only thing I had to do was give Him the problem with complete abandon. I am now very grateful to God for the gift of desperation. I was so desperate that I was willing to try anything! I know that I would not have gone through with the Program so wholeheartedly if I were not frantically desperate. I knew I was beaten and could not stop, so I let go and, amazingly, I did stop.
