Intimacy With The Almighty

Encountering Christ in the Secret Places of Your Life

By: Charles R. Swindoll

Narrated by: Maurice England

Noise and words and frenzied, hectic schedules dull our senses, closing our ears to His still, small voice and making us numb to His touch.

Charles Swindoll offers all new insights from his own journal to guide people on a journey of intimacy with God.

Wonderful book but…

Fantastic little book

I’ll have to revisit it, and I, contrary to the intended purpose (I believe, lol), am listening to this while going about my day. The book encourages us to slow down, to revel in time with the Lord in silence, to recall our thoughts of, for, and with Him in a journal, and, to, overall, focus first on our walk with Him in a slow and meaningful way.

Intimacy with the Almighty

Whew! This book is short but challenging and deep! I had to journal about each decision and discipline so I could remember them since I listened to this book. I actually think this was really helpful since having it written down both helps me retain it and allows me to refer back to it easily.
This book is challenging, because it really goes against our general society and culture. Creating spaces of serenity and solitude is extremely difficult as our lives are chock full and busy busy busy. We have to be intentional and focused on purposefully making space and therein is the biggest issue. We have to make space to spend time with God. Just like we would with our spouse or kids. I both love this idea and struggle with it as there are many things that make me “feel good,” but ultimately do not serve me or my spiritual walk. Escapism and instant gratification are rampant in our world, and we must focus on developing a deeper walk with God through self-control. This is a great book for those who have a desire to go deeper in their walk with Christ, but don’t expect the outcome to be easy or simple. We must cultivate our intimacy with God with purpose and intent!!

alone with God

A quick read to come back to many times during the year. Getting alone with God is been one of my favorite things to do as a Christian. To continue in prayer and supplication to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Moved to Change My Life

Thank you for this small, but deeply inspirational work. I am moved, and made a decision, to change how I live my life before God.
