In this updated 15th anniversary edition of Michael Evan’s landmark work, Why Not Waste Time with God?, rediscover the Father’s heart and His desire to share a deeply loving, transformative, and tender relationship with you.
Many of us draw our value from who we know, what we do, and what we have. We battle guilt over mistakes we’ve made, anxiety about what the future may hold for us, or fear of disapproval from others and from God. Our time is consumed by a multitude of activities intended to bring approval and acceptance from others. But what if you could move beyond superficial relationships and experience the intimacy, joy, and freedom that comes from being deeply connected — soul and spirit — with your Father God? Discover how to ’Waste time’ with God, and learn to love more compassionately, give of yourself more freely, and take yourself less seriously. Break free from dependence on others for approval. Stop your pretense, your striving for approval, and instead, sitting quietly with your Father God, be confident that you are significant, accepted, and loved.
