Pieces of Heaven: Recognizing the Presence of God

Bentz, an author of nonfiction (When God Takes Too Long) and novels, looks at the heart of spiritual movement in the ordinary and extraordinary events of human life. "Although heaven is obviously beyond our comprehension in some ways, and while we know there will be many surprises, what prevents us from spending more time dwelling on what we do know about it%E2%80%A6?" He urges readers to explore God's presence in such realms as music, nature, intellect, prayer, science, and astronomy. Miracles and angels are places where Bentz sees the divine manifesting itself in the extraordinary. Counterfeits in human life distract people from God, and it is easy for Christians to get off track in the secular world. This light and inspirational reading filled with citations from popular Christian writers will appeal to a wide audience looking for a quick spiritual refresher course in the wonders of God.
