Closer than Your Next Breath

Where Is God When You Need Him Most?

By: Susie Larson

Narrated by: Susie Larson

Length: 5 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

Read by the author with audiobook-exclusive interviews of:

• Alisa Keeton, founder of Revelation Wellness and bestselling author
• Brant Hansen, radio host and author of the bestseller Unoffendable
• Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, author and president of Christian Thinkers Society
• Tessa Asher, bestselling author of biblical and inspirational historical fiction

God is omnipresent—meaning He's here, there, everywhere all at the same time—so no matter what you're going through today or worried about facing tomorrow, He is closer than you can imagine, and His presence changes everything.

The God of creation cares deeply about every detail of our personal lives. He's in charge of every galaxy and has named every star. He also knows about the hurts in our hearts and the hairs on our heads. He's near and far. His glory fills the universe, and yet He's up close and involved.

Though we believe in our minds that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present, sometimes we don't feel his closeness. How can we walk boldly in our faith, expecting Him to draw near to us as we draw near to Him, as promised in the book of James? In Closer Than Your Next Breath, bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson helps listeners experience God's trustworthiness and love—even when they feel far from Him. In this book, listeners will explore these questions and more:

• How do I know if I'm hearing the voice of God?
• Is feeling good the same as feeling God?
• Is there anything I can do when God seems silent?
• How should God's presence impact me?

There's nothing like God's presence in our lives, but sometimes we chase the sensational and miss the supernatural. Worship services, retreats or conferences, and mountaintop experiences are great, but too often we rush right by the nuanced, miraculous ways God shows up in our story every day. When we pursue the heart of God through the Word of God, that's when we experience the presence of God—and it makes all the difference in our lives.

Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Wonderful book

Listening to Suzie read her own book was great. It was like listening to her radio show. Such a personal experience. This book is great.

Phenomenal Teaching of God’s Truth

Susie Larson has been given a beautiful gift from God to be able to articulate Truth in the most powerful way. From the moment I first listened to her share her life story and how God was intricately woven in it, I was captivated by her sincere love for her Savior and for sharing the Truth of the Gospel. I very much look forward to seeing the impact of her multiplying her gift to impact others when I get to Heaven! Reading her book Closer Than Your Next Breath will infuse hope straight into your soul because the words are not Susie’s, they are God’s.

Heartfelt and Transforming

The genuineness of Susie's heart with every spoken word was transforming. I feel like I've just encountered a close and faithful friend ... just like I have in Jesus.

Wonderful & Encouraging

Loved the book & the interviews at the end. This was so helpful for me & I will definitely recommend it to others! Thank you Susie & team.

Doesn’t disappoint

Love Susie Larson and her books. I usually help her launch them, but I am in a busy season and couldn’t get in on this one from the start. Now that I’ve read it, it does not disappoint. Like her others, it’s full of wisdom and good stories and prayers that will keep your eyes focused on God. Highly recommend.

Amazing book from Susie Larson that draws you near to God

I love Susie Larson’s new book “Closer Than Your Next Breath.” Even from the introduction I see how the Lord is using it to draw all who read it closer to the Lord and to see His nearness. I love Susie Larson and her transparency and desire to seek the presence of the Lord. How she shares in her book how she draws near to Him through the truth in His word to bring Him glory even through the tough things. She is honest and vulnerable and as she shares her stories it gives hope and shows we are not alone in our struggles but that the amazing presence of God is with us, near helping us through. It is an amazing book. I highly recommend this book to all. And added bonus on audible as well.

Author Speaks Deep Healing to Your Heart

Listening to this audiobook is the most soul healing experience I have ever had from any book! The title couldn’t be more accurate! I have read and listened to hundreds of books hoping to find what I found here! She understands, from personal experience, how deep trauma can actually be healed. She somehow dispenses a healing balm, with words, that I had previously only hoped existed!! She helps you sense that God’s healing presence, is in actuality, “as close” as your own breath! This book truly delivers and gets my highest recommendation!!

How Susie ministers while living in pain with an autoimmune disease. I have an autoimmune disease called Myasthenia Gravis!

One of the most powerful books I have ever listened to! My vision from my autoimmune disease has caused me to not be able to read. I am so thankful to listen to this audiobook read by Susie herself! This has challenged me to keep going and looking to Jesus and not my circumstances! Thank you Susie!

Hopefulled Renewing Transforming

Susie’s words are a gift. She shares honestly with fresh perspective that lead you to a deeper insight in your daily walk with the Lord.
Susie inspires and challenges in only the way she can with honest insight for your journey.
This new devotional will give the reader fresh revelation and light for life by giving renewed Hope.
I highly recommend!

Draw Closer to God - Absolutely the Best Book

This is now my absolute favorite book. Any book that can point me to my loving God and cause me, an introvert, to want to lift my hands in praise right in the middle of the grocery store deserves 5 stars! Susie has genuinely & beautifully describes the heart of the Father while sharing her own faith journey! I will be listening again and again.
