The God Who Sees You is a series of 30 reflections to help us overcome the uneasy feeling that plagues so many of us: that we are unseen, unacknowledged, unloved, misunderstood. As Georgie Tennant takes us on a journey from the Old Testament through to the New, she examines the stories of a variety of Biblical characters - some household names and some unheard of - who felt these things too. As they encountered a God who saw them, understood them and called them higher, so too can you. Each reflection takes the reader deeply into the Biblical narrative and offers a suggestion for a song to listen to, connected to each theme, as well as questions for personal reflection to help you on your journey to feeling seen, valued and secure.
