Gretchen Schwartzman’s recent release, Come Dance With Me: Devotions for Deeper Intimacy with God” reached Amazon.com’s best-seller list on May 1, 2024, climbing all the way to Number One in the Inspirational Prayer and Inspirational Personal Testimonies categories. The book also reached Number Two in the Prayer category.
Schwartzman’s book shares her transformative journey of faith, highlighting the profound lessons learned in recent years about the power of hearing God’s voice. Her spiritual odyssey began with a divine nudge at the onset of a Lenten season, prompting a commitment to daily moments of stillness and listening. What unfolds is not a routine practice of scripture reading or prayer but a dedicated time for quietude aimed at cultivating an intimate dialogue with the Divine.
These private encounters with God’s voice evolved into a compelling call to share the insights gained with a wider audience, beginning with her church community and eventually leading to the creation of this book.
In response to the book hitting the bestseller list, Heart Songs Publishing House Publisher Karen Oeser said, “This debut book holds profound significance for us as it beautifully aligns with our mission of publishing compelling testimonies that resonate with readers, guiding them through the author’s surrender journey. Gretchen’s heartfelt devotions offer readers an intimate glimpse into her evolving relationship with God. We hope ‘Come Dance with Me’ will inspire women worldwide and encourage them to share their own testimonies filled with hope, love, faith, forgiveness, and peace.”
