God Sightings Helps Readers Open Their Eyes To See What Is Going On Around Them
In a recent poll, 54% of Americans said they are affected by the stress brought on by their busy lives.
Going at such a fast, frenzied pace leaves little time to notice all of the positive occurrences, events and encounters that are happening all around in their everyday lives. But when they take a moment to look, good things are happening everywhere.
Group Publishing and Tyndale House Publishers have joined together to create an exciting and unique daily reading experience called God Sightings that will enable users to see God in the ordinary, in other people and in the events of their own lives. God Sightings is designed to bring God into people’s lives in a more tangible and authentic way than ever before. God Sightings: The One Year Companion Guide, along with God Sightings: The One Year Bible (NLT or NIV versions available), provides a focus too often missing in Bible reading programs: looking past the written pages and to God Himself.
God Sightings: The One Year Companion Guide, is meant to be used with God Sightings: The One Year Bible asks provocative and personal questions designed to bring God’s real presence to you and those you talk to online each week in a tangible way. There are questions like:
· What is the best gift God has given you this week? What does this gift tell you about God?
· In what areas of your life do you need God’s assurance right now? How can God speak into these areas?
· Where did you see God at work around you? What guidance did you receive from watching God at work?
· In what area of your life do you need a change of direction right now? How willing are you to let God set the course for that new direction?
· Think of your recent encounters with God. What words would you use to describe how God tastes to you? Sweet? Bitter? Like comfort food?
Materials for God Sightings are available for individuals to use alone or with groups. They include a God Sightings: The One Year Bible (New International Version or New Living Translation), God Sightings: The One Year Companion Guide, God Sightings: The One Year Small Group Leader Guide and also God Sightings: The One Year Launch Kit for Pastors and Ministry Leaders who want to bring this transformation to their entire congregation.
Online communities (www.MyGodSightings.com)—public and private—will launch in November for individuals who want to share thoughts about captured “God Sightings” with others. It’s perfect for an on-the-go-lifestyle, as people can log on anytime and anywhere. It is ideal for military spouses during deployment, parents and their children who are away at college or distant friends who want to stay in touch. It’s a chance to witness and share God’s presence even when people are separated by hundreds or thousands of miles.
