We were never meant to settle for shallow and fleeting connections that lack intimacy. But it has become increasingly difficult to build the life-giving relationships that God made us to need and enjoy.
There is a glorious answer to the ‘intimacy deficit’ many of us face today. An open invitation to meaningful connection:
– with our Creator God
– with ourselves
– with others
– with God’s creation.
With biblical insight, practical advice and the hard-won wisdom of experience, Ed Shaw shows us how Christ is at work to exchange our intimacy deficit for life in all its fullness.
