The Present Perfect: Finding God in the Now Free Audiobook Download by Gregory A. Boyd

The Present Perfect: Finding God in the Now is a reflection on the book of Ecclesiastes by American pastor and theologian, Gregory A. Boyd. The audiobook was narrated by Fred Sanders.

If you want to go deep into the present moment to find God, you must learn how to live in the present imperfect. [Gregory Boyd] breaks down how this is accomplished and gives guidelines for how we can find Jesus' presence in our lives when all else seems so mundane and lifeless.

God has always been with us and everywhere, and the author Gregory Boyd gives in-depth descriptions of how. Greg offers many examples from his own life of how God is present even when we take the time to rest or simply reflect on our day.

As I was going through my daily routine of writing, teaching, and speaking at my church, I was reminded of one of the most important principles in our faith: God is always present. Now. This book is about how that understanding can impact not only our theology but also our theology. It's about how we can live each moment with a new appreciation for the infinite nature of God and His presence in every moment.

This audiobook is about life and God, both as past and present. It presents the idea that we can find God in the present tense by looking at the spiritual condition of our souls. In this sense, it is meant to be a guide for living a faith-filled life. Boyd writes about how we are always moving towards or away from God. He suggests that we should stop trying to reach God through religious traditions, but instead find him in ourselves and our relationships with other human beings.

Asking questions about what's happened in the past to find God is the wrong approach. We won't find Him by looking back, but only by looking forward. Asking questions like how did sin come into the world or how do we get out of it are not just useless but harmful. Yes, we need to understand where we've been and what lead us there, but knowing should make us more eager to press on and look towards a better future.
