What does it mean to get closer to God?\nJames 4:8 (NKJV) promises: "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." If you have believed in Jesus Christ and if He is your Lord and Savior, you're already as close to Jesus-spiritually speaking-as you can get. However, in the here and now, bombarded by earthly distractions and difficulties, it can feel like He is an eternity away. Through Get Closer: A Devotional for Encountering God, Van Moody leads you on a fifty-two-week journey of hearing God in the following areas: Faith, Family, Finance, Fitness, and Fun. Grow in intimacy and faith by setting aside time each week to get closer and encounter God. There is truly no greater calling this side of heaven!

Get Closer: A Devotional For Encountering God

The key to the life you want is inside you.
One question lies behind every struggle we face: How do I deal with myself? Behind all our stumbles, behind each of our missteps, behind every one of our failings lies an inability to handle what Van Moody calls the “I-Factor.” More than self-worth or self-respect, beyond even character and perception of purpose, the I-Factor is about managing yourself—your whole life—well. In his inspiring new book, Moody reveals how to get hold of your I-Factor.
Moody identifies three dynamics essential to winning the battle of the I-Factor: identity, significance, and perspective. When you understand your identity you know who you are, setting your foundation for everything. When you understand your significance, you see the purpose and the greatness you were created for. And when you understand perspective, you can view the problems you face as stepping-stones to greatness rather than stumbling blocks. Properly understand these three dynamics, and you will be able to master your I-Factor.
Weaving together personal stories, practical principles, and profound biblical truth, The I-Factor provides the key to achieving the life of greatness that you are destined for.

Popular pastor and acclaimed author Van Moody reveals the secret to a fulfilling, life-sustaining relationship with God: a deep understanding of just how much He loves us.
We were made to be in relationship with God, wired to love and be loved by Him. We feel truly whole and complete only when we have a vital, passionate relationship with Him. And that relationship can occur only with a deep understanding of who God is and how much He loves us.
As the story of the Bible makes clear, God’s earnest love for His people is continually given and rejected. To understand how God can keep pursuing us like this, we must see Him as He is: overflowing with desire for, and relentlessly in pursuit of, His people. Desired by God gives a refreshing, eye-opening picture of this God, who wants with all His heart for us to know Him. And when we see Him clearly and fall in love with Him, we will find ourselves more grounded, satisfied, and cared for than we ever dreamed possible.

The relationships in your life will make the difference between happiness and misery. 
The right relationship will launch you to the heights of achievement; the wrong one will tether you to mediocrity. Your relationships will be your sources of greatest joy and your venues of greatest pain. Van Moody says, “When people show you who they are, pay attention.” 
We need to undertake the important task of evaluating our relationships intelligently. We need to recognize the people with whom God has called us to walk in mutually beneficial relationships and to identify those who will derail our destinies or hinder His purposes for our lives. It is high time we cultivate our Relational IQs, understanding not only how to build great relationships but also how to avoid or skillfully exit bad ones. 
Van Moody saw this need every day of his pastoral life, but he could not find a concise, practical resource for people who need to become more relationally savvy. He needed a beyond-the-basics study guide for Relational IQ. The People Factor is his solution.
God works in our lives through our relationships. Yet, all too often, we get our relationship advice from the most toxic sources we can find. The People Factor is based on the most effective, trustworthy relationship book of all time: the Bible. 
If you hunger for a richer, more fulfilling life, your Relational IQ is the place to start. If you put The People Factor principles to work, you will become stronger, happier, and healthier in all your relationships. You will be a better spouse, a better friend, a better boss, a better parent, and a better person.

Pastor Van Moody, author of The People Factor, rips the veil of secrecy from people’s deepest and most intimate struggle—the one with themselves—and sets readers on the road to personal wholeness, security, and success. The fundamental question behind every struggle we face is this: How do I deal with myself? Van Moody calls this “the I-Factor,” the combination of dynamics that converge to form the totality of a person’s relationship with him- or herself. More than self-worth or self-respect, beyond character and perception of purpose, the I-Factor is about managing yourself—your whole life—well. And in this inspiring new book, Moody reveals how to get hold of the I-Factor. To win the battle with the I-Factor, a person must have a proper understanding of three dynamics: identity, significance, and perspective. When you understand your identity you know who you are, which is the foundation of everything. When you understand your significance, you get in touch with the purpose and the greatness for which you were created. And when you understand perspective, you can view the problems you face as stepping-stones to greatness instead of stumbling blocks. Weaving together personal stories, practical principles, and profound biblical truth, The I Factor provides readers with the key to achieving the life of greatness that they are destined for.
