Imagine if God were an actual being, a perfect companion who could grasp your hands, give you advice, and offer you total, unconditional love. For about a quarter of Americans – many of whom are Evangelical Christians – a vivid, intimate connection with God is the goal of spiritual experience. And thinking about God in this way isn't always easy. It takes imagination, discernment, and above all, faith. From April 2012.
