Robin L. Conners is a resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado. He has studied Criminal Justice and served for five and a half years in the U.S. Air Force. He currently lives with his “beautiful wife” Rose and son Ryan and works as a Quality Assurance Evaluator for the Air Force Academy. While keeping busy in his church and community and enjoying the many outdoor activities that Colorado Springs has to offer, Robin loves nothing more than learning about God, His Word, and how to grow closer to Him. He calls this his favorite hobby, along with teaching others about how they can grow in their relationship with the God who wants closeness with them.
In his new book God Wants You Closer to Him, Robin L. Conners reveals that a desired close relationship is not one sided. Conners offers guidance to those who seek a closer relationship with God. "The way to get closer to him," Conners says in the book’s introduction, "is by understanding His words in the Bible and how to apply them to your everyday life." The author shows how possible this is by weaving his own experiences throughout the chapters as examples of how God got his attention, taught him, and helped him to grow in spiritual understanding. Conners offers biblical evidence of God’s desire to have a one-on-one relationship with believers, as well as revealing how to have an affective prayer life, persevere through trials, deal with anger and temptation, and experience God’s peace and protection. Conners helps readers put the pieces of their faith-life together in a way that allows them to see the hand of God working and drawing them closer to Him through all of it.
