CREATED FOR INTIMACY: Discovering Intimacy with Yourself, Others and God. ‘In our materialistic society there is a temptation to love things and use people. Friendship and intimacy only become priorities when we love people and use things,’ write the authors. ‘If you are interested in how to be close to another person, whether you are single or married, this book may help you. Experiencing human intimacy prepares us for intimacy with God, and intimacy with Him transforms human relationships.’ Created for Intimacy is a practical workbook, with questions and exercises at the end of each chapter on the issues raised, that can be used on your own, with another or in a group.
