The biggest problem facing humanity is a lack of true intimacy – the relational intimacy we were created to need and enjoy in the very beginning of creation. This intimacy can be best understood as an experience of oneness in four areas: with our Creator God, with ourselves, with others and with God’s creation.
In The Intimacy Deficit, Ed Shaw offers biblical insight, practical wisdom and plenty of real world examples to help you grow in each of these four areas. Not shying away from the real difficulties of life, he demonstrates that opening our hearts and lives to increased connection will not only begin to meet our lack of intimacy, it will also bring that ‘abundant life’ Christ promised to all His followers.
