The book opens by framing reconciliation with God as the true foundation of purpose and identity, made possible through Jesus Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit’s active presence. Rather than treating the Spirit as an impersonal influence, the text emphasises the Holy Spirit as a divine Person who teaches, comforts, guides, and anchors the believer’s life in ongoing fellowship with God.
Core message and narrative arc The introduction sets the tone: a genuine encounter with Jesus is never neutral. It leaves an imprint that reshapes the inner life, renewing the mind and realigning the heart. Transformation is described as a deep spiritual reordering, not behavior adjustment, and the consistent biblical pattern is laid out as: encounter → revelation → response → transformation. This pattern is traced through key biblical stories (Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Jacob, Paul), where a collision with God produces a new direction, new identity, and new obedience.
From there, the book builds in two main movements:
1. What divine encounters are and how they form faith, identity, and culture.
2. How transformation is sustained through surrender, Scripture, the Spirit, and daily discipleship.
Encounter as the ignition of faith and purpose
Early chapters insist that faith often requires more than inherited belief. The text argues that encounter gives “substance” to faith, shifting it from concept to relationship. It stresses that people arrive differently; some believe and then encounter, others encounter and then believe, but in both cases, encounter becomes the milestone that clarifies God’s nearness and voice. Saul’s Damascus-road confrontation is used as a model of sudden divine interruption that reassigns identity and mission in one moment.
A repeated theme is the command to “arise. “Arising” is treated as both literal and spiritual: a call to wake, respond, move, return to worship, and step into destiny. In that sense, encounter is not presented as spiritual entertainment; it is a summons. The book repeatedly links encounters with action, obedience, and forward motion, not merely emotion.
Avenues of encounter and the “ordinary becoming holy”
A substantial portion explores how encounters occur. The argument is that God has always used “places” and “moments,” but the New Covenant offers something deeper and more continuous through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Where the patriarchs often encountered God through external manifestations and specific locations, believers now encounter God through the Spirit’s inward work, Scripture, conviction, worship, and divine promptings. The book insists that modern encounters may be quieter, but they are not lesser, because they can be consistent and relational rather than occasional and location bound.
Moses’ burning bush becomes a key illustration: curiosity meets preparedness, and the mundane becomes holy ground. Moses’s story is used to show that God’s encounter is rarely random. It often lands on a life that has been shaped by process, wilderness seasons, and hidden formation.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
