The Intimacy Deficit: Fully Enjoying God, Yourself, Others and Creation

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.

Ed Shaw is Pastor of Emmanuel City Centre church, Bristol, UK and Ministry Director at www.livingout.org. He has written widely, authoring numerous blogs and articles for publications like The Gospel Coalition, as well as the bestselling books, The Plausibility Problem and Purposeful Sexuality (entitled Same-Sex Attraction and the Church in the USA).
