Dr. David Ireland is founder and senior pastor of Christ Church in Montclair & Rockaway, New Jersey, a 8,000-member congregation of 40 nationalities. Known as the teacher we understand, Ireland is diversity consultant to the National Basketball Association and leads chapel services for the New York Giants and New York Jets football teams, and at the U.S. Pentagon. He is a frequent speaker at seminaries, churches across various denominational lines, and at international leadership conferences.
A devotional book set out to take the reader into deeper intimacy with God through forty days of active meditation on different aspects of the Lord and His dwelling place. I particularly like his 'circle of prayer' - passions, people, possessions, purpose, problems.
As you take this spiritual journey to the mountain of God you gain an accurate perspective of your current intimacy level with God, what intimacy is and is not, and the world around you. You need a healthy "heart"/inner man for the journey. During the journey you may not realize the state your heart is in. If it is sick or weak it will show up immediately and may trip you up but be encouraged. Stay the course. Don't do it alone but with someone with whom you can honestly communicate with and pray for you.
