GOD IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
By John Ortberg
Zondervan. 198 pages. £7.99
ISBN 0 310 25318 7

Even the front cover suggests that this is a creative book, and Ortberg sets out to dig us out of our ruts and move us onward in our walk with God.

He writes with a light touch, but constantly confronts his readers with down-to-earth reality as he fills the pages with examples from daily life and illustrations from the Bible you may well see in a new light.
