Encounters : Authentic Experiences Of God

44 accounts by believers past and present

This book has been written to record the experiences of a wide variety of Christians which seem, to them, to establish the existence of God and in particular the truth of the risen Christ beyond reasonable doubt. Each of these people, they believe, has encountered Christ. For some such experiences happened at the point of their conversion. For others they are a repeated occurrence. ‘We need,’ explains John Woolmer, ‘to be able to tell people about our spiritual journey’. The book will comprise 44 short accounts, each with appropriate explanation and commentary if needed. Sources include known and unknown but include such historical figures as St Augustine and Jonathan Edwards as well as many contemporary believers.
