Summary:

Ever wonder if Heaven is closer than you think? Ever sense the Holy Spirit's presence in a way that makes the veil between us and eternity seem thin? Ever feel like God is so close you can almost touch him? Maybe . . . or maybe not. Pieces of Heaven reminds us that God is closer than we think. All we have to do is have eyes to see. In an increasingly secularized and frenzied culture, it's not always easy to make time and space in our lives for seeing God at work around us. We don't intend to quench the Spirit. We want to recognize God's presence in our lives, but we end up ignoring Him anyway. But God desires to expand our view so that we can catch a glimpse of His hand in our everyday lives-in our work, in our leisure, our joys, and our sorrows. In Pieces of Heaven, author Joseph Bentz invites readers to celebrate the God who is close at hand and easy to see-if only we are paying attention.Reviews'Joseph Bentz has a gift for seeing the Holy Spirit in ordinary places. Let this book open your eyes to the God who is at work all around you.'-Lawrence W. Wilson, author of When Life Doesn't Turn Out the Way You Expect'Joseph Bentz is right...sometimes it's hard to recognize the presence of God. In his insightful book, Joseph Bentz peels back the mystery surrounding why we overlook God's presence in our life, and more importantly, how we can recognize it. This book is a must for everyone who's ever longed to experience more of God.-Donna Jones, Pastor's Wife, National Speaker, and author of Seek: A Woman's Guide to Meeting God
