Book excerpt: Experiencing God can at once inspire worship, incite fear, melt us in love, and increase our desire to experience Him more. Such is the unique relationship we have with the Once we call Almighty as well as dead Friend. In Rhythms of the Inner Life, Howard Macy Plumbs the depths of one of Scripture's most heart-tugging books, the Psalms, to explore seven typical heart responses to God's interaction with each of us--longing, waiting, trembling, despairing, resting, conversing, celebrating. As we become alert and sensitive to these inner spiritual rhythms, we will learn to walk ever more closely with the God who holds and delights in us.
