The Soul of All Spirituality
Practice of Presence Teaching
Many of us grow up with an image of God that feels distant, leaving us to navigate life on our own. But through stillness and presence, we discover that God is always near—at the very center of our being. In Meeting God in the Moment, we’re reminded that true spirituality is about relationship, and each encounter with the divine can transform how we live, listen, and love.

Grounded in the Christian tradition, Jim Heaney’s book is an accessible guide to daily presence, peace, and lasting transformation.
