One morning in his home office, Steve Richard was enjoying God’s incredible presence when the popular Christian book, A Purpose Driven Life, came to his mind. Then the Lord posed an important question to him, “What does a presence-driven life look like?” He sat stunned, processing that penetrating statement. He knew what a purpose-driven life was, but he had never even heard the phrase “a presence-driven life” in twenty-five years as a believer.
 
When the Lord asks a question, it’s not for His own benefit. Steve began asking himself: “Presence-driven: how does a person live that out?” As he pondered this concept, he heard the Lord say, “Go after that!”

That encounter with God re-prioritized Steve’s entire life as he sought for answers to these questions. The journey he accepted led him to explore the most mysterious and misunderstood personality in the Bible—the Holy Spirit. This book contains the insights and experiences he received in pursuing “Intimate Living with the Holy Spirit”—the One who is and ever will be our Helper, Counselor and Guide.
