Description
A poetic and soul-stirring invitation into a deeper relationship with the Divine.

With lyrical prose, vulnerability, and a profound understanding of spiritual longing, Godsey shares her journey of becoming – of surrendering old certainties and discovering the grace that transforms.

Through a series of reflective essays, prayers, and personal stories, she explores what it means to be undone by God's love, changed by divine presence, and remade into something whole and beautiful.

This book doesn’t offer tidy answers but instead welcomes readers into the mystery of faith, where doubt and desire can coexist, and where intimacy with God is born not through perfection, but honesty.

Perfect for readers who are spiritually curious, deconstructing and reconstructing faith, or simply longing for a more authentic walk with God, Befriending God creates sacred space for transformation.

It's a rich companion for quiet mornings, retreats, or small group conversations about what it truly means to befriend the One who made us.
