First Dance: Venturing Deeper into a Relationship with God

First Dance is a true love story about God. Beyond "religious knowledge" about God, you
will explore the depths of that first love, that first dance when you hold your partner so
close that your hearts beat as one.
No matter what you’ve been through—or are going through right now—you can get
beyond your fear of intimacy and dive into the deep love relationship that God desires to
have with you. You will once again thrill to the truth that you are worth the blood of Jesus.
God says so!
You will learn how to get closer to God, love God more deeply, accept inner healing from
God, and pursue God’s love with all your heart.
Many interesting stories and illustrations offer real solutions to real problems that are
keeping you from experiencing all that God designed especially for you.

Brian Connolly is the pastor of evangelism at Praise
Community Church in York, PA. He earned a Master’s
degree in counseling at Asbury Theological Seminary and is
the former youth pastor of First Evangelical Lutheran Church
in Mifflinburg, PA. He and his wife, Nicole, have a daughter,
Emma.

"First Dance offers a challenge to believers and churches alike to experience and connect with the love of God in a deeper way. Connolly calls
us as Christians to rediscover love as the central ingredient to our faith, character, fruitfulness, relationships, influence, and growth. Through the story of his own life interacting with Scripture, books, music, and trusted friends and leaders, Connolly offers healing and reminds us that we are worthy of God’s love. We as readers discover what can happen when we desire to know God intimately through faith in Jesus Christ and accept the power of God through the presence of the Holy Spirit. We are worth the blood of Christ." --Rev. Dr. B. Michael Brossman, pastor, Centenary United Methodist Church
