"Be ready to be challenged and hopefully transformed to deeper ways of engaging in and enjoying intimate relationships with God and people" Rebecca Sassenrath, ACC, CTC.The truths in this book will guide the reader to experience the deep and fulfilling intimacy our hearts yearn for in our relationships with God, ourselves and others. The reader will view the role of intimacy in our relationships in a more meaningful way.God has placed within each of us the need and ability to be intimate. There are very specific qualities of intimacy, such as our sexuality, "naked hearts," peace, love and grace that we can nurture and enjoy. However, it is a choice. Each of us has a say in the intimacy we will pursue in our relationships.To assist in the pursuit, there are questions at the end of each section for individual and group reflection.

Jesus Christ changed the course of history. His birth marks the dating of man's calendars: Before Christ (B.C.) and the Year of our Lord (A.D. - anno domini). He can change your life. "Jesus said, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me'" (John 14:6). The purpose of Jesus Christ's life and death are succinctly explained. You will learn why you need to know Jesus Christ. You will have a tool to explain to another why they need to know Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ's message to the world was simple, 'Believe in Me' (John 11:25). Christ is the solution to man's problem with God. The Apostle Paul said it best, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

God wants a relationship with us, a relationship that is rooted in His love and grounded in His forgiveness. He Walks with Us is about God?s relationship with us. It is about God applying His truths to our lives. The truths presented focus our attention on God and not ourselves. It is God telling us what He has already done for us, rather than us asking what we can do. The theme throughout Scripture is that man sins and God forgives. Man is unfaithful, and God is ever faithful. God walks with us even when we are walking down the wrong path. God wants us to have power over sin. He wants to build faithfulness in us. He wants to take us by the hand and walk with us down the right path. God?s walk with us begins with His living Word, Jesus Christ, and His written Word, the Bible. He Walks with Us examines both and uses both to explain God?s role. Ultimately, it is all God and none of us. The truth is that we are because He is. He is the author and perfecter of our faith. It is wonderful to know that we cannot fail when God has the responsibility for our success. He Walks with Us is how God will succeed at that good work that He has started within us.
