About Breaking the Surface

Inviting God into the Shallows and the Depths of Your Mind

Deep within the heart of each believer is the longing to move beyond superficial conversations and relationships so that he or she may experience moments of edeep communion with the Creator. Unfortunately, these moments are never realized as most believers become distracted by the realities and routines of life.

With vivid language and powerful biblical examples, Breaking the Surface will stir readers to desire a more consistent, peaceful, and deeper relationship with their heavenly Father. Based on her personal experiences and ministry, Vicki Kuyper displays a fresh approach to using touchstones, or daily memory aids, as physical triggers to direct your thoughts to God and the things of God. Through the content, Scripture, and reflection questions in each chapter, you will begin to understand what it means to direct your thoughts to the things above, especially when earthly things loom large and urgent.

We have an incredibly big God—and a comparably itty-bitty brain. But God fashioned our brains according to the miraculous schematics of His own wise design. Somehow, the big God, small brain combination is the perfect Petri dish in which faith can grow.
