Have you ever referred to God as the man upstairs?

Most Christians living in a secular society have unwittingly relegated God and all things spiritual to the second storey of the universe: a realm we cannot reach except through death. The effect of this is to banish God, along with the saints and angels, from our everyday lives.

In Everywhere Present, popular blogger and podcaster Fr. Stephen Freeman makes a compelling case for becoming aware of God's living and active presence in every moment of our lives here and now. Learning to practice your Christian faith in a one-storey universe will change your life and make possible the living, intimate relationship with God you've always dreamed of.

Two storey review

I really enjoyed this audiobook! Father Stephen speaks both intelligently and simply, drawing us a vivid picture of a two-storey universe, and how it’s different from what the ideal one-storey universe is. He packs a lot into three hours, and yet I didn’t feel overwhelmed. In addition to his own thoughts and musings, he includes quotes and wisdom from church fathers, other authors, and the scriptures. (I might even have to purchase the paper version just so I can highlight parts that stuck out to me!)

As a convert to the Eastern Orthodox faith, I really appreciated the point of view the author brought, as a convert himself. It was interesting to see where God was placed in precious churches I’ve attended, as well as where I have placed Him myself without even realizing it - for better or worse in both cases.

I think this book would be a good read/listen for anybody, no matter where they are in their spiritual journey and no matter their church affiliation.

On the technical side, I appreciated that there was no background music, and Father Stephen’s reading is clean with good enunciation. Plus, it’s always fun when the author reads the book himself!

Wonderful book and presentation!

In this short book, Father Stephen describes the world in terms unheard by modern man. He writes in “plain talk”, yet challenges one’s world view in an astounding way. I found this ultimately enjoyable to listen to, although I will need to listen to it again to really process everything covered in such a short span.

10/10 Highly recommend

Truly remarkable!

This book is a must for all Orthodox Christians. So many Orthodox live in a two-story universe. This is not an Orthodox viewpoint, and Fr. Stephen helps us understand why. Excellent book!

Every Orthodox needs to read this book!

This was amazing. I think it reveals heavily secular thinking we adopt and maintain in the west even as we proclaim the faith of Christianity. This book shows you why you must remove the faith/spirituality life and the “real life” artificial wall most have created. Until you do your living something of a lie and may not realize it.

Absolutely essential

Fr. Freeman does a masterful job of distilling the essence of having a cognitive understanding of theological concepts vs a heartfelt and humble disposition toward our Creator.

Wonderful Book

I enjoyed this book. The ideas are presented simply, but they pack a heavy intellectual and spiritual punch. I enjoyed that Fr. Stephen presents his book himself here so it is like listening to a much-extended version of his podcast, Glory to God.

Excellent and thought-provoking
