Seek My Face: Prayer as Personal Relationship in Scripture

What does it mean to have a relationship with God? Why do so many of us avoid a relationship with God at all costs? What examples from Scripture might guide us in developing a close, prayerful relationship with God? In Seek My Face, William A. Barry, SJ, provides thoughtful and easy-to-understand answers that can help anyone draw closer to God.Throughout the book, Fr. Barry introduces situations and personalities from both the Old and New Testaments to show readers the various ways in which people in the Bible--Abraham, Moses, Peter, Jesus--drew closer to God, and how we can use their examples to develop a closer relationship with God ourselves.
