The Secret Place: Finding Quiet Time in the Presence of God

In a world full of noise and distractions, finding silence and solitude so you can connect with God is difficult. Angus Buchan explains the importance of making this time a priority: It is the place where you receive strength and energy, where you are refreshed and made new. He shares touching anecdotes from his own life, and recounts stories from great Christian men and women through the ages to illustrate the importance of intimacy with the Father.

The more time you spend with a person, the more you become like that person. Often, the disciples couldn't find Jesus–He had withdrawn to wait on the Father. When He came back He released the reign of heaven: the sick were healed; captives were set free; miracles, signs, and wonders took place. The place of intimacy is the place where we become more like Jesus; it is the place where we learn to lean on the Father.
