What if drawing near to God had nothing to do with getting it "right"?

What if prayer, silence, fasting, and meditation weren't religious duties--but doorways into communion with Jesus?

In Closer: Spiritual Practices to Deepen Your Intimacy with Jesus, best friends Lisa Harper and Christine Caine invite you to trade performance for presence. Bridging different faith backgrounds with honesty and humor, these two beloved Bible teachers deliver one liberating truth: "Jesus is the prize. Intimacy with Jesus in the point." The disciplines themselves are not the destination; they are simply the bride--the intentional, devoted means of drawing near to a God who already sings songs of delight over you.

Over four sessions, you'll recalibrate your cravings toward God, bring clarity to the noise, find freedom from spiritual bondage, and gently shirt your faith from performance religion to genuine, relational communion with Jesus.

Study breakdown:

Session 1: Prayer
Lisa Harper and Christine Caine strip prayer of pressure and performance. Through raw stories -- including Christine's account of a prayer that helped rescue trafficking victims in Uzbekistan -- this session frees you from fearing you're "praying wrong." Prayer isn't about the right words; it's an ongoing conversation with a Father who's already praying for you.

Session 2: Silence and Solitude
In a world of constant noise, Christine makes the case for reclaiming quiet. Jesus regularly withdrew from crowds to be alone with the Father -- and this session shows you why that's still possible today. Honest and practical, it gives you simple ways to carve out silence in your real, busy life.

Session 3: Fasting
Lisa and Christine tackle a widely misunderstood discipline with humor and biblical depth. From Christine's childhood confusion over fasting traditions to stories of saints who took focus to extremes, this session reframes fasting as anything but a diet for you. Rooted in the fasts of Moses, Esther, and Jesus, it shows you how setting aside distraction can awaken a deeper hunger for God.

Session 4: Study and Meditation
What if the Bible is a love letter, not a rulebook? Lisa and Christine trace their very different journeys with Scripture to the same conclusion: transformation happens when you marinate in God's Word instead of skimming it. Introducing lectio divina and retelling familiar stories with fresh eyes, this session invites you to seek relationship, not just knowledge.

Large, Heavy or Oversized Orders

Our standard delivery charges are designed to cover the vast majority of orders. However, occasionally an order may be particularly large, heavy or bulky, meaning that the actual cost of delivery is significantly higher than the standard delivery charge shown at checkout.

This is more likely to apply to larger orders being delivered to Northern Ireland, Europe or destinations outside mainland UK, although it may occasionally apply to other orders.

If your order requires an additional delivery charge, we will contact you before dispatching your order to explain the additional cost and obtain your agreement. We will never take an additional delivery payment without contacting you first.

If you do not wish to pay the additional delivery charge, you will have the option to cancel the affected order for a full refund.

European and Rest of World Deliveries

Please note that we are still shipping to the EU and the rest of the world but due to Brexit there maybe delays and customs charges in the country of your delivery. Unfortunately this is outside of our control.

Checking The Progress Of Your Order

You will be sent an email informing you when your order has been dispatched. In addition to this you can follow the progress of each item you have ordered by checking your account details (login and click on ‘My Account’ on the top right of the screen).
