Lifted by His Word is book eight in the God's Constant Presence nonfiction series.

Sometimes God speaks to us through the Bible, drawing our attention to particular passages that relate directly to our needs. But other times His Word comes to us in different ways.

In this volume you'll read the stories of people who found a verse at just the right time or received a message through a chance encounter. Sometimes it was a quiet nudge from God, spoken directly to a person's heart, and sometimes He used other people to guide our writers in the right direction. In the end, we find, God speaks to us not only through His Word but through all of creation.

Let these stories of God speaking to others inspire you to open your heart to His messages in your own life.

Have you ever wondered if God was really by your side throughout the day? If He were with us while we're doing ordinary things in our everyday lives? The Bible tells us that in every moment of every day God is at work in our lives, helping, guiding, comforting, and protecting us. The true stories in each volume of God's Constant Presence bear witness to this truth as well.

In each book, inspiring stories from people like you reveal the ways God was evident in their life, supplemented by Bible verses that reinforce the theme of each story. Peppered throughout each volume are examples of the ways God communicates with us through our senses. "God's Gift of..." touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste sidebars provide information on events, experiences, or fascinating facts on how our senses allow us to be in tune with God and His creation.
