God is speaking in our everyday world. How can we become more attuned to listening for God's voice? Keith Anderson walks us through key biblical themes that help us to see and experience how God is present with us if we would only listen, paying attention to the moments that make up our days. Listen--and step into a world alive with God's presence.
