Published by Chosen Books in 1991 (in Britain by Kingsway, 1992) and reissued in later editions with the subtitle Welcoming God's Radiant Presence in Your Home and Church. Hayford argues that God wants to display his glory through his people, and that this glory is not a private experience for an elite but for all who will stand under the Father's radiance; as believers learn to walk in it, the boundaries of God's blessing expand around them, in the home as well as the church. A chapter on "Listening to God" sets out what he means by saying that God speaks: to everyone through general and specific revelation, beginning with creation itself.
