Publisher's summary

The deepest longing for humans is communion with the living, eternal God. But how does it happen? What gets in the way? And how does that communion define who we are, give us purpose, and show us what lies ahead for us? In One with God, award-winning author Pierce Taylor Hibbs leads readers on a conversational, poetic, and prayerful journey into the wonders of Jesus's great prayer for his people: that they may be one with him (John 17). Filled with discussion questions, reader resources, and prayers for group study, One with God inspires readers to chase after the one thing they can't truly live without: peace with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It's only in a peaceful relationship with God that we'll find out who we are, why we're here, and where we're going.

• “A subject as wondrous as our Creator God and as breathtaking as the fact that we can experience true oneness with him deserves a treatment this inspiring, this biblically grounded, and this beautifully written.” – Tim Challies, Christian pastor, blogger, and author of several books, including Visual Theology, Epic, and Seasons of Sorrow
• “One reason the modern emphasis on the self is so sinister is God made us for union with him. Union with the living God in Christ — almost too good to be true! — is a powerful tonic against the subtle, destructive spells of our age. Drink deeply of this book. That is, slowly, without hurry, and, as much as you’re able, without distraction. And do what God made us, as humans, uniquely for: meditate on God and marvel.” – David Mathis, senior teacher, desiringGod.org; pastor, Cities Church, Saint Paul, Minnesota; author, Workers for Your Joy: The Call of Christ on Christian Leaders
• “One with God is a personal, poetic, practical and potent primer for spiritual growth. Herein Pierce Hibbs imparts theological nourishment to refocus, refresh and restore souls by deepening our understanding and experience of union with Christ.” – Dr. Peter A. Lillback, president, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
• “This book is a wonder-filled, thoughtful combination of rich theology, poetic expression, personal sensitivity, and spiritual devotion. It unfolds how to pursue God in the light of his pursuit of us. Read it and taste the love of God.” – Vern S. Poythress, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary
• “In some ways, this book’s thesis is simple: Chase after God. What could be sweeter or more relevant at a time when we seem to be chasing anything and everything else. This is the message that can change our life and Pierce Hibbs has articulated it so thoughtfully here.” – Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor, Westminster Seminary California
