About

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).

Reviews

"'In an age of chronic disconnection, Ed carefully pastors the reader through a journey that is refreshingly honest, grounded and hopeful. His insights help us discern the intimacy gaps in our own lives and equip us with practical steps towards truly living life in all its fullness.'"
Ruth Bushyager, Bishop of Horsham
"'Ed puts his finger on what our parched and fragmented hearts are desperately yearning for. It's an achingly beautiful picture of flourishing humanity. And how practically, even today, I can enjoy a deeper sense of being at home with God in his world, in my own skin and with others.'"
Mark Ellis, CEO, Keswick Ministries
"'The kindness and rawness of Ed's writing permeates every page. We each long to be known and loved - Ed invites us to have that desire satisfied in and through Jesus. Practical, real, honest and hope-filled; this book is essential reading for anyone who has wanted better or deeper relationships.'"
Jo Frost, author and Director of Communications and Engagement, Evangelical Alliance
