S 141 Beguiled by Jesus: Faith and the Language of Intimacy

£2.77

Our intimacy with God and the words we use to describe and relate to it can have a profound effect on our prayer life, indeed on our very being. 

This enthralling study explores the language of spiritual intimacy, from the psalms to the writings of Paul, the early church fathers and beyond. It seeks to uncover the means by which we might abandon the self and advance into an intimate union with God, living a life of faith, prayer and worship that replicates his self-surrendering love for the world.
