Though Marion Duckworth had been a Christian for many years, she knew that something was missing. Her knowledge told her that God was always with her directing her, loving her, living in her. But her experience told her something else. Intimacy with God was too often blotted out by old fears, new problems, and the tyranny of daily living. The Bible seemed to promise that a moment-by-moment oneness with God was possible. But how was it achieved? How was it maintained? Was there a key?

Marion found the key in the Strong Place that place within each Christian where the spirit of the believer and the Spirit of the Lord are one.

Gradually she learned to trust in the security of God's presence, and to reach out from the Strong Place-upward to God in love and worship, outward to family and friends in new sensitivity and love.
